A complete curriculum vitae is available via the link below. Highlights (of the written work, though not the parenting) might be summed up as follows:
Mark Rigney is the author of Deaf Side Story: Deaf Sharks, Hearing Jets and a Classic American Musical (Gallaudet University Press, 2003). His short fiction has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and has appeared in venues such as The Bellevue Literary Review, Black Gate, Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, Shadow Regions, The Red Rock Review, Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine, All Hallows, and Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. Other writing projects have placed second in nationwide novel contests and have earned grants from the Indiana Arts Council and the Vogelstein Foundation. His plays for the stage have won national contests and been performed in seven states, including New York and California. Acts of God, his first published play, is available now from Playscripts, Inc., and has several upcoming productions scheduled around the country––and in Canada.
