Born in Niagara Falls, Mark Jacobs spent fifteen years living and working in countries outside the United States.

He has published more than 200 short stories in a range of magazines including The Hudson Review<\/em>, The Atlantic<\/em>, Playboy<\/em>, The Baffle<\/em>r, The Iowa Review<\/em>, and The Kenyon Review<\/em>, along with many others.
