title: Violent Vows: A Newlywed?s Nightmare (Vows Series) (Volume 1)
author:  Mark Elswick 
description: Violent Vows may be Mark Elswicks first novel. However, with his second already in the works, expect to see many more by this author in the coming months. In fact, he also has been outlining and researching two other ideas which will follow his second release.  A 22-year severe Traumatic Brain Injury survivor, Elswick is working on a novel inspired by the injury that came an eyelash from claiming his own life. Though the novel, Fatal Fall, is fictional, it is a could-be true story in which readers will fall in love with the plight of its main character, Kyle Trumball.  In addition to being a writer, Elswick has many other interests. He has been known to be an air guitar extraordinaire, karaoke hack, linguistic Houdini, sports nut, Fantasy Football champion, baseball umpire extreme, country music lover, and fast food junkie.  Recently, the author was blessed with his first grandchild, Rowen. She is the daughter of his daughter, Gabrielle, and Mitchell. Since Elswick is, obviously, completely unbiased, its safe to believe him when he says that she is positively the cutest baby, ever.
