Marc J. Reilly

Marc grew up as an actor and quickly found that his calling was to entertain. He migrated from the stage to film, and from performer to director, screenwriter, and producer. But despite the many hats, his job remains the same: to make people laugh. As a novelist, he believes that when readers step out of their daily lives for a time and see the world in a funnier light, they can face each day with the power of a smile. His books poke fun at many subjects, but none more than humans themselves.

Mark Twain once wrote, "Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense," and Marc uses that wisdom to playfully strip away the dressings from things we fear or hate and find the comedy hidden beneath. Take the time to crack one of his books, and after you're through laughing, you'll come out the other side, able to chase away the blues armed with nothing but a grin.
