Last week Bull Shoals Library introduced readers to local writer Mark Dobbs who has a poker run names after him. Here is more of his story. Mark has written two books. In the novel Fracked! he tells of the search for the cause of geologic nightmares that are rapidly escalating and could lead to a regional apocalypse – the collapse of Bull Shoals Lake. The book is filled with accurate details about the area which makes it an even more interesting read for those who live in and know the area. You may recognize some of the people even though the names have been changed to protect those who inspired the characters.
