Mark Brown writes under the pen name J-me. He's a native Kansan and the fifth and best looking child of twelve children. (It's my story, and I can tell it any way I want.) He's labored in the oilfield twenty-four years and has served as go-fer, ginzel, worm, roughneck, driller, toolpusher, and vice-president. He and his wife, Eddie, make their home in Northwest Oklahoma.

PUBLISHAMERICA'S Book of the Week (Aug. 11, 2008)
I can't wait for Mason Bricklin 2. J. White - Oklahoma
I had planned to read one chapter a night of 'Mason Bricklin.' No such thing. Once I started I couldn't put it down. It's just one funny thing after another, lots of laughs. I loved it. L. Pitts - Kansas
"Mark Brown has the uncanny talent to tell a story in a way that brings us back to a more innocent time, a time of friends, family and laughter. His style is a cross between Garrison Keillor and Samuel Clemens."
