As an Author

Mark Butler’s debut novel "A Playground for Disobedient Dinosaurs" follows Red Thomas, a wayward teacher whose chaos draws students into a spiral of risk and misadventure. Set against a backdrop of London’s high society, the story explores how a single person can upend lives with both unforgettable charm and reckless abandon. Formerly a lecturer on Probability, Mark now brings his unique perspective to fiction, blending humor with sharp social commentary.
