Marc Cavella is a professional writer with nearly twenty years of experience crafting material in different genres.

As a child, Marc read pretty much anything he could get his hands on—everything from 19th-century novels to James Joyce to GI Joe comic books. He enjoyed books about history, biographies of famous Americans (especially baseball players from the 1940s, like Ted Williams and Jackie Robinson), and wild stories about musicians like Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen. (Marc is from New Jersey, after all.) Growing up near the ocean, he was also interested in books about maritime history; one of his favorite books in his youth aside from Corduroy by Don Freeman was a collection of paintings of famous naval battles, which he still occa Marc Cavella is a professional writer with nearly twenty years of experience crafting material in different genres.

As a child, Marc read pretty much anything he could get his hands on—everything from 19th-century novels to James Joyce to GI Joe comic books.

(Marc is from New Jersey, after all.) Growing up near the ocean, he was also interested in books about maritime history; one of his favorite books in his youth aside from Corduroy by Don Freeman was a collection of paintings of famous naval battles, which he still occasionally searches for at his local library.

Eventually, Marc discovered writers like Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner. These authors, and many others, inspired him to begin writing his own material, most of which focused on ordinary peoples’ struggles to answer both modern and timeless questions. Marc explores an aspect of those struggles in Tabernacle, his first novella. Tabernacle focuses on the exploits of Edward Jones, a wildly successful salesman, who ponders the complexity of fatherhood and the delicate nature of goodness as he pursues his latest commission. Marc has plans for two additional sequels to Tabernacle, as well as a number of other books. One of these books is A Lot Less Effort, a sweetly humorous take on relationships and commitment that explores the lengths we’ll go to in order to honor our most meaningful friendships, all set against the backdrop of Virginia's Civil War battlefields.

Marc almost didn’t write Tabernacle. In his early thirties, he decided to pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology, with the aim of being a marriage counselor. Fortunately for audiences, Marc’s passion for writing was too strong to resist, and he left the program after receiving a master’s degree. Marc’s time as a doctoral student still bleeds into his work, which allows him to write from an incredibly unique perspective and enables him to create truly authentic, original, and complex characters.

All of these experiences combine to make Marc the particularly versatile writer that he is today. In addition to his fiction works, he’s written dozens of articles covering a wide range of topics: psychology and human behavior (aspects of which are explored in Tabernacle); professional sports, including hockey and football; international business; government and politics; and a number of articles about movies and television. Early in his career, Marc also served as a reporter covering local issues affecting communities along the New Jersey coastline.

In his spare time, Marc enjoys relaxing with his family and their pets; reading about history, politics, and current events; and attending concerts. When he’s not working on his next book, you might find Marc looking for inspiration at the card tables in Atlantic City or while watching professional wrestling on Monday nights.
