About Mark

Who is Mark Therrien?

Mark Therrien is an author and stay at home dad to three lively kids and one friendly dog. He and his wife Ashley live in Coon Rapids, Minnesota.

When he is not writing, Mark enjoys living room wrestling matches with his kids, Minnesota Twins baseball games, and a late night bowl of cereal.

Mark is a proud driver of an awesome 2011 Honda Odyssey minivan, which was his inspiration for The Megavan.

Why did Mark write The Megavan?

Mark has had an interest in writing from a very young age, but never dreamed it would result in making a children’s book! Upon reading hundreds of books to his three young kids, Mark realized that the right story can create magic in a child’s mind, bringing joy and unlocking imagination in a way few other things can.

To be able to play a part in that magic is his biggest writing motivation.
