Author Page for Arthur Mark Boerke
If there is one thing that you could say about Arthur Mark Boerke it is that he has lived an exciting life. He spent twenty plus years in the music business, where he was, at one time or another, a radio announcer, program director, concert promoter, talent buyer, band manager, and nightclub owner. He ran the music and promotion department for the famed Rockafellas’ rock 'n roll club in Columbia, South Carolina, from 1988 to 1999.In 2002, “Art” decided it was time for a change and went back to college to become a professor. In 2007, he was hired as an adjunct history professor at High Point University in North Carolina. Since then, he has been working steadily at a number of North Carolina colleges and universities.
In 2008 he contributed a chapter called “Conscription in the Habsburg Empire to 1815” to the book entitled, Conscription in the Napoleonic Era: a Revolution in Military Affairs, by Donald Stoker, Frederick C. Schneid, and Harold D.Blanton eds. (London, Routledge, Taylor and Francis Group, 2008).
In 2010, Boerke decided to join friend Damon Plumides on a collaborative work of fiction. The result was the humorous action novel called, The Adventures of Caterwaul the Cat: Feline Pie. Both he and his co-author are very proud of the world they have created and are already at work on a sequel.
A graduate of the University of South Carolina in Columbia, Boerke is the holder of a Master of Arts degree in History and Bachelor of Arts degrees in History, Journalism, and International Studies/Political Science. He is planning on completing his PhD in history in the near future. He is also in the process of doing research for a non-fiction book on the Columbia South Carolina music scene in the 1980s and 90s.
