Mark Gambino was born on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio, which goes some way to explain his entertaining, yet sometimes baffling, approach to the written word. Editor by day, writer/photographer by night, Gambino has contributed lifestyle and arts pieces to international publications as well as local websites and magazines. He believes in nothing better than a slice of lemon tart and a good cup of Joe to sooth the soul. Catch his tweets here.
