Mark LaFlamme is a crime reporter and columnist at the Sun Journal in Lewiston, Maine. In his weekly column Street Talk he often vents his frustration with and disdain for editors, comparing them to bats, spiders, extraterrestrial slugs, and other beings too diabolical to describe. The column has been named both Best in Maine and Best in New England. In 2006, LaFlamme was named Journalist of the Year by the Maine Press Association.
LaFlamme is also the author of "The Pink Room," the tale of a leading physicist who attempts to use string theory to bring his daughter back from the dead, "Asterisk," the story of high-tech cheating in baseball in the year 2089, and "Vegetation," where a pompous man discovers that when you offend the kingdom of plants, the whole world really is out to get you.
