From the Author
Hello, Readers! Mongol Moon was a journey for me. Three years from inception to release! I brought 20 years of emergency management and war gaming to the table here and wrote the story the way I saw an invasion of the U.S. taking place. But I wanted more than that. I wanted the war to be in the background with the characters front and center. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it as much as I did writing it. Thank you for coming along for the ride! I’m also an avid reader and some of my favorite authors that put things in my head, which I pulled out selectively for this story and twisted them to my own machinations are as follows: Robert Jordan, Tom Clancy, William Forstchen, Stephen Konkoly, Harry Turtledove, Dan Brown, Jack Carr, Clive Cussler, and Stephen King.
About the Author
Mark Sibley is a corporate crisis manager and war gamer. He’s developed and facilitated over a hundred war games for various organizations over the years and managed as many real-world crises for those organizations. This experience, along with a life-long dream of writing a novel, provided him fertile ground for pulling together all the aspects of this story and developing them into what became Mongol Moon. If you tell a war gamer that a particular bad thing can’t happen, that war gamer will come up with a plausible scenario to prove you wrong…eventually.
He is a life-long Virginian and lives in the Commonwealth with his wife, three kids, and current pack of female terriers, two Boston Terriers, Izzy (the Alpha) and Dobby (the one without a brain), and the ever-ferocious Chewie the Wookie, a five-pound Yorkshire Terrier with one fang. At any given time, there is also a foster dog at the house, rounding out their pack.

Mark and I are Twitter friends and I had no idea he was an author, but recently he mentioned that he was donating all December profits from Mongol Moon to Mount Carmel Catholic Church (a few days ago it was about $700). I looked up the book on Amazon and was stunned at the reviews and subject matter – of course I immediately ordered and sent a copy to my brother, but don’t tell him, thanks!
