Marc Sloane

Biography

Hello Everyone, I'm Marc Sloane.

There is nothing I love more than an intriguing story. To me, plot is of utmost importance. Ever since I was a young child I would stare in amazement at the stars, cooking up stories and bouncing around ideas. And that has never stopped. My mind moves a million miles a minute, and I oftentimes wish I had a spacecraft that could do the same thing.

When I am not working on my next title, I am a Director of Finance for a large multi-national corporation, building out complicated spreadsheets and financial models for the self-styled masters of the universe I work for, which is why I so look forward to inching my stories forward to completion.

I currently live with my girlfriend of two years in Sunny, Thousand Oaks, CA, but grew up in the windy Mojave desert, in the Antelope Valley.

At the end of the day, Marc Sloane doesn't exist without my readers. I thank each and every one of you for reading my stories! I have seven works-in-progress and I plan for many more to come, so stay tuned!
