The Madison Picker: The Picker Series

About the Author

Mark Clay Grove is a second generation antiques dealer with four decades of experience in the trenches. Over the years he has owned and operated a large antiques shop and an antiques mall, traveled from New York City to Nashville selling his wares at antiques shows, sold stuff on eBay, and taught appraisal report-writing for NYU. Still, he maintains a practice as an accredited appraiser as he writes fiction for the fun of it and appears regularly on the PBS TV show, The Chesapeake Collectibles. Always an avid reader, restless writer, and a kind gentleman with dual nationality (US/UK), he strives for perfection and insists on living by a code of honor that values integrity, fidelity, and fairness for all. Mark divides his time between homes in Fairfax and Charlottesville, Virginia, with his Peruvian wife, Chany. They travel extensively for business and pleasure. His professional website is mgrove dot-com. Polite emails are answered as soon as possible.
