About Me
Mark Keating from Fossa in County Kerry was born on February 26, 1985. He was educated in St Brendan’s College and after completing an electrical apprenticeship, he followed his passion and moved to Carragh, County Kildare to ride race horses for the legendary trainer, Arthur Moore. While in Kildare, he also completed a horsemanship course and began writing for the horse racing magazine 3 Furlongs Out, as well as keeping his own blog. Mark’s fascination with the dream logic of David Lynch’s movies, the avant garde writing of James Joyce and the stream of consciousness vision in Maya Deren’s work, inspired him to write short stories and in 2017 he self-published the novella The Drowning. On the day of it’s release, he finished the first draft of what would be his first novel Infinitesimal Gradations. Since his early teens, Mark has been writing music. Influenced by the likes of Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins, as well as experimental jazz and dark, classical musical compositions.
