Written by Mark Bertrand

Mark Bertrand is a Navy fighter pilot turned financial ghost turned novelist. In the 1990s, he built offshore networks and spiritual retreats while quietly laundering distance, not money. His literary thrillers blend true events with psychological warfare, financial subterfuge, and philosophical precision. The True Story Trilogy is not confession. It’s not redemption. It’s architecture—designed to expose the illusions of success, identity, and the systems we call law. Bertrand now lives off-grid, publishes independently, and writes for readers who know that some lives can’t be wrapped in genre.
