474<p class="from_wysiwyg"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 10pt;">Mark Wiederanders writes historical fiction about the quirks, mysteries, and private lives of creative geniuses. Each of his screenplays and novels deals with a crisis that the main character faces -- sometimes successfully, other times disastrously -- and how the result shaped the stories they wrote. His fictional subjects, so far, include William Shakespeare, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack London. </span></p> 475<p class="from_wysiwyg"><br /><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 10pt;">A native of San Francisco, he majored in psychology and literature as an undergraduate, then earned a Ph.D in psychology at the University of Colorado. After being Assistant Professor of Psychology at a University of Wisconsin campus, he settled with his wife and young family in Sacramento, where he researched violence, sociopaths, and the criminally insane for California state government. At nights he began writing fiction as a break from the dire situations of his work clientele. With his youngest daughter, Annie, he co-wrote a children's story,<em> The Dinosaur Egg</em>, that placed First in the Sacramento Friends of the Library Competition. A few years later, his screenplay, "Taming Judith," about William Shakespeare's youngest daughter was a top-ten finalist in the Academy of Motion Pictures' Nichol Fellowship competition, and was optioned to a Hollywood film producer.</span></p> 476<p class="from_wysiwyg"> </p> 477<p class="from_wysiwyg"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 10pt;">His first novel,<em> Stevenson's Treasure</em> (Fireship Press), was a finalist in the Eric Hoffer Book Awards.
