My work could best be described as satire, with a little fantasy thrown in. This is a good characterization of my comic fantasy series, CIRCLES IN HELL.

Quotes by Mark Cain (?)

“The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.”
― Mark Cain

tags: inspirational, self-determination, success

“You humans, though, have a choice. You can be good. You can be bad. When you are good, you can accomplish sublime things. Feed a starving child. Risk your life to rescue another. Let someone else have the last slice of cheesecake. But when you’re bad, there’s no limit to your atrocities. You commit genocide, develop a weapon that can kill a hundred thousand in the blink of an eye,”
― Mark Cain, Beelzebub: A Memoir

“I grabbed his arm. “Wait. Why are you helping me?” Melvil looked at me as if I were some alien being. “I’m a librarian. We help people.” “Even after you’re dead?” He shrugged. “You never stop being a librarian.”
