A little about me
  
Hi. My name is Mark Hammar. I have loved storytelling for many years now. I started with the help of a friend of mine who was a great storyteller and mentor. Everything I am today, in the field of storytelling, I owe to Bill. 

I enjoy telling stories from many different times and areas. My repertoire includes Medieval Tales and Native American Legends as well as Greek, Roman, Celtic and Norse Myths. I have also been know to tell stories I have written myself as well as stories from Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. 

I am also a member of the Storytellers School of Toronto which is another great resource in the Toronto area for those interested in storytelling. 

If you are interested in contacting me about a storytelling event please feel free to contact me by e-mail. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A little about my book

My first novel, Strange Magic, is now available to be ordered in bookstores at Chapters, Coles and Smithbooks as well as on-line at Chapters.ca, Barnes & Noble.com and Amazon.com. 

When young Justin returns from the School for Sorcerers, he finds beautiful Balmoria, the land of his childhood, in ruins.  His father and oldest sister are dead, his older brother is incapable of ruling, and the spirits of the people are destroyed.  No one else can lead them. Justin must emerge victorious over the witch and her minion of giant rodents with this feeble and untrained army, or Balmoria will perish. 

To find out more about the novel, read the first chapter or read some critiques visit the Gray Wolf Publishing web page and check out the Books page.  I hope you enjoy what you see.
