"Discover why this children's book author was commissioned an admiral in the Texas Navy by the Governor of Texas"

 My name is Mark Mitchell and I live in land-locked Austin, Texas.
I tend to get seasick on the water. I can’t tie a sheepshank knot to save my life.

 
But I wrote and illustrated a book about a historic sunken ship that archeologists recovered from a Texas bay. The book, Raising La Belle won two national literary awards and resulted in my Texas admiral's commission.

You'll enjoy knowing about my Raising La Belle school presentation that gives every student a "front row seat" at the archeological excavation that made headlines around the world.
