Mark Pintar
Author of "In Other Words"

Mark Pintar has been reading since age 3 when he surprised his older brothers and sisters, reading them the daily funnies.  It's only natural he'd step in to do book and movie reviews for In Other Words

Previous contributors to this column have included Lynn Lennert and Lisa Vaden , author of Life's Little Lessons. We welcome reviews and book or movie suggestions from all of our readers!  E-mail BookReview@sfpnn.com

 


"I currently live in
Los Angeles, CA, where I am a freelance editor and producer of film and television.  I'm also an aspiring film-maker, struggling musician (playing the saxophone is MUCH harder than it looks on TV!), a terrible-but-improving golfer, occasional cook (my wife is still trying to steal my chocolate chip cookie recipe) and a modern day Renaissance Man.   ;->


While reading has always come easily for me, writing has been a bit more of a challenge.  I'm looking forward to combining my passions for reading, watching movies, and story telling while honing my writing skills in this weekly column.

 

Special thanks to SFPNN's editor for allowing me this opportunity."
