Welcome to my site.

You're probably interested in who I am because I am a writer. And not just any kind of writer -- I write books for children and young adults.

But I am more than a writer.

Who is Marc Talbert, anyway -- the man behind the books?

The answer depends on who you ask....

I am a father to my two daughters, Molly and Jessie.

I am a husband to my wife, Moo.

To various other people, I am a son, an uncle, a brother, a cousin, a nephew, a friend, a coach.

"Marc Talbert writes as he lives, with a sharp eye and a warm heart." -- Richard Peck, Newberry Award-winning author and friend.

"Marc Talbert's books are as exciting as the West he calls home. He writes stories boys love and girls can't put down, stories that abound in both adventure and sensitivity." -- Rosemary Wells, illustrator and author and friend.

"Marc Talbert is a superb writer who can make the most complex human interactions understandable to young adults in a way that illustrates the feelings and innermost fears of us all. Read his books -- they are wonderful." -- Ed Knapp, former Director of the National Sciences Foundation, and Jean Knapp

But what if you asked me? WHO AM I? Wow, that's a tough one.

I guess I'm all those things people say I am (well, mostly)...
