In 1994 Pascal Marco moved to the Sonoran Desert and a brave new world in Arizona. There he joined the Scottsdale Writers Group, which he claims was pivotal to the development of his debut novel, IDENTITY: LOST, which rose to become a #1 Kindle Amazon best-seller. Pascal was born and raised on the far Southside of Chicago, the grandson of Italian immigrants. He graduated from the University of Illinois Chicago with both B.A. and M.A. degrees. He's thankful every day for growing up in a tight-knit Chicago neighborhood and is very proud of his deep, working-class roots. He's never lost his passion for Chicago White Sox baseball, either. An active member of his current community, Pascal lives with his wife, Karen, in Mesa, Arizona. He has four children and six grandchildren. His latest novel, RENDER SAFE, is now available.
