Mark wrote a back cover review for Niamh McAnally's book Flares Up: A Story Bigger Than The Atlantic
'Paul and Phil’s Atlantic challenge is a sea voyage but it’s about more than grit and determination. Their story reminds us how generosity, consideration and the desire to make a contribution are the most precious gifts on the journey of life, no matter what it throws at us.' --Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits
I doesn't look like Mark wrote more than that...

Nice, though it's strange to see Mark referred to as "Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits". It's like the band is no more for 30-odd years, just sayin.

Since "grit and determination" are themes close to him it'll be interesting to see if the book will find its way into a new song.

Dire Straits is still a way BIGGER known name than Mark Knopfler.
