Marcus Harrison Green began his love affair with the written word at a young age upon his first foray to his local library. Finding himself encompassed by an eclectic assortment of works that included the dramas of Shakespeare, the prose of Baldwin, the comedy of Allen, and yes, even the lyrics of 2Pac, his fascination with the power of words to endure and inspire became ignited.

Coming from extremely humble origins, he was encouraged to put his writing ambitions on hold, while in college, to seek a lucrative career in Finance, graduating with honors as a Business Major and beginning his career as a Stockbroker soon after.

Finding himself encompassed by an eclectic assortment of works that included the dramas of Shakespeare, the prose of Baldwin, the comedy of Allen, and yes, even the lyrics of 2Pac, his fascination with the power of words to endure and inspire became ignited.

Coming from extremely humble origins, he was encouraged to put his writing ambitions on hold, while in college, to seek a lucrative career in Finance, graduating with honors as a Business Major and beginning his career as a Stockbroker soon after.

Finding his day unfulfilling and the desire to write still burning vigilantly inside him, he began the ritual of writing as soon as his work day ended until it was almost time for the next one to commence.

Grudgingly content to relegate his passion to after work hobby, he confronted a crossroads in his life courtesy of a very devastating end to a relationship with the woman he planned to marry. While distraught, this gave him an opportunity to reflect on his life. Finally facing the fact that he was miserable, he quit his job to devote his energies full time to writing.

Desperately seeking to come to some internal resolution in understanding the loss of his “Soulmate” he set out on an odyssey across the country collecting stories and anecdotes from the loveless, love struck, and loved alike, of all ages and genders. Distilling the narratives down into one while seeking to capture the enigma of love with both humor and pathos, he wrote his first novel, “A Year Without April,” which has been labeled as the male version of, “Eat, Pray, Love.” It is currently receiving attention from several film studios interested in turning the book into a feature film.

A noted essayist, journalist and public speaker, Marcus aspires to be one of the great writers of his generation. He continues to hone his craft in his beloved city of Seattle while working on both his second novel and book’s film adaptation.
