Mark P. Kraver is a retired dentist specializing in craniofacial pain who has turned his lifelong love of history and storytelling into a second career as a writer. A debut author of historical fiction, he draws inspiration from his ancestors’ journey from Germany’s Black Forest to early 18th-century America, as well as his fascination with New England’s Golden Age of piracy and the classic Silver Screen.
A former Air Force Dental Corps Captain, Kraver earned his DDS from the University of Oklahoma in 1985 before moving to Florida, where he practiced for over three decades. He began writing poetry before college and later expanded into science fiction with his first novel, God of God. Today, he continues to blend creativity and technology by setting his poetry to AI-generated music.
