Bio

Born in Mineola , Marc Lecard grew up in Massapequa, Long Island, New York. He now lives in Oakland, California with his wife, Jane, 3,000 books (at last count), a roomful of musical instruments, and a growing collection of obsolete computers.

 

“I had tried to write crime fiction for years, with nothing to show for it but a filing cabinet filled with uncompleted novels.

“About ten years ago I decided it was time to get serious. At first, being serious was indistinguishable from not being serious. It looked like I was going to have to buy some more filing cabinets.

 "It wasn’t until I moved back to Long Island that my attempts at crime fiction turned funny. People had always laughed at my writing. Suddenly I had a blinding insight: I could do that on purpose!

"Inspired, I got to work. Vinnie’s Head was the end product, though it took a fair number of false starts before I completed it. I managed to interest Dan Hooker of the Ashley Grayson Agency, and he sold it to St. Martin’s Minotaur last September. It’s scheduled to launch in March 2007.

 "I’m back in California now, still writing. I think I’ll keep doing this until they make me stop."
