Paragraph: Mark Millhone and Kate Hill Cantrill

His humorous columns for that magazine begat his memoir-in-progress The Blue Beckham Bomber due frightfully soon to his editor at Rodale Books/Modern Times Press. Mark lives in New York City with his beautiful wife, lovely children and two rather strange-looking dogs.
