About Marc Blatte
Marc Blatte, a native and longtime resident of New York City,
grew up in the Bronx, played baseball in the Roy Campanella Little
League and was a protege of the bestselling author Ed McBain.
After a brief stint west of the Hudson at Kenyon College, Marc returned
to the city that never sleeps to become a wunderkind of the songwriting
industry, dubbed by legendary record producer Clive Davis as one of the
"fortunate ones." He has composed material for major stars, and was
nominated for a Grammy Award for best R&B Song.
He has shaken Joe Frazier's hand at Small's Paradise, danced with
Sherry Lansing, fixed Debbie Harry's sink, met Henry Kissinger, and had
an unexpected visit from the Wu Tang Clan. He has worked as a golf
caddy, Rotor Rooter man, tenement superintendent, keyboard player in a
lounge band, was a hip-hop white boy pioneer record producer . . . and
lived to tell.
The father of three daughters, Marc and his wife Jeanne divide their
time between New York and Nicaragua. He is currently at work on his
next mystery featuring Black Sallie Blue Eyes.
