I'm Not Famous (ePub)

Mark Genovese is an ordinary man. Although his readers may find his stories extraordinary, he does not. Mark is a typical American who loves his country, his hometown, his family, and his friends. He is the person sitting next to you in the theater, across from you at a restaurant, or a row behind you at a ballgame.

When his doctors diagnosed his Parkinson's disease, they suggested that if he wrote about his life experiences, the effects of the disease might be delayed. Mark is not sure if that is true, but the chapters in this book have certainly shaped the man he is today. This is Mark's journey through life, going unnoticed while being involved in some significant historical events.

Mark stands proudly behind the statement, "I'M NOT FAMOUS," and he doesn't want to be. Even while serving as a United States Marine or as a Captain for the police force, Mark touched lives in a more individual, memorable, and meaningful way than being a celebrity or a famous person. If you met Mark, he would treat you with respect and compassion. He would be there without hesitation to share in your good times and help you through the bad ones. Mark cherishes the effects he has had on people, but they have not made him famous.

Mark lives in North Haven, CT, with his wife Caren. They raised their two children, Steven and Amanda, in North Haven.
