Mark S. Ehrlich is the author of Float the Boat, a compelling, high-stakes Mystery-Thriller that blends a page from his past with events ripped from today's headlines. His debut novel and the first of a series, Float the Boat begins as a riveting whodunit and morphs into a frenzy-inducing page-turner. He would love to be proved wrong but doubts anybody can sum it up more succinctly than an early reader who said, "I couldn't put it down . . . it's 3 a.m.!"

​

Mark grew up in New York City and northern New Jersey captivated by the Gemini and Apollo programs, baseball, and football. When he wasn't in school or away at college, he learned the meaning of hard work while mowing lawns, counseling campers, boxing magic tricks, and mixing plastisols. In his twenties, he survived the Peace Corps, then withstood a pressure cooker of a job in a remote Southeast Asian refugee camp before seeing a good deal of the world as a reward. Next came several decades of pursuing value during a corporate career in the shipbuilding, railroad, and automotive industries. The last act, a 24-year stretch with a well-known Japanese car company, included a 5-year stint in Japan.

​

Now he lives with his family in South Korea. When he's not taking Tango for a walk, he enjoys blogging and writing stories about everyday heroes trying to overcome the disruption to their lives.
