Charleston, South Carolina writer, poet and Editor of Charleston Daily Publications has just published his new novel “Letters from the Past”.  After publishing eight collections of poetry over the last 11 years, Mark has taken the leap to novelist with this coming of age story of love, personal exploration, and emotional soul searching.

Take a journey back to 1997 on the streets of Paris where love is always in the air.  That is where our story begins, but like most love stories, it is filled with trials, obstacles, pain, and tragedy.  In the end, our fates are truly unknown.

About Letters From the Past:

When two worlds collide outside a cafe in Paris in 1997, Emma and Graham know their lives will never be the same. Over the next five years, their lives and love for one another are tested.  Their story takes them from a quiet café in the heart of Paris to a poverty-stricken village in Tanzania to the beaches of the Outer Banks. 

The debut novel by writer and poet Mark A. Leon explores the depths of emotional connection in this relationship and character-driven story.

Synopsis:

A 27-year-old young aspiring corporate acquisitions consultant from Connecticut meets a recently divorced surgeon from Chicago in a fated encounter outside a small intimate cafe in Paris in 1997. From the moment their eyes met, something ignited in both of them, but the timing was not on their side.

Over the next five years and heavily through the mode of letter writing, their relationship will go through a series of trials, triumphs, tragedy, love, pain and more. This is a story of love, human spirit and the unconditional bond between two souls on a collision course.
