Mark Castleberry
Author and Founder
Mark Castleberry is the founder of Strangers and Pilgrims Publishing. A lifelong storyteller, he grew up on a lake in Alabama filling notebooks with science fiction and fantasy worlds. Those characters stayed with him for decades until self-publishing made it possible to bring them to life.
Today he lives in Missouri with his wife and two cats. He writes clean, fast-paced stories shaped by Christian morals and biblical truth, works of imagination, adventure, and hope. Through the publishing house and The Strangers and Pilgrims Podcast, home to classic radio dramas and audio storytelling, Mark’s goal is simple: to offer uplifting, family-friendly fiction that invites readers into wonder while pointing toward something greater.
