Marc Secchia

Bio

Marc is a South African-born writer who loves to fly dragons around incredible imaginary worlds. He completed his first novel in the back of English class in high school and the less said about that one, the better.

40 bestselling novels later, writing remains his passion. Marc’s novels are clean, diverse, entertaining and mind-stretching, and often humorous yet unafraid to deal with big real-life issues such as racism, poverty, oppression and conflict.

If you’re wondering where to start, I recommend Call me Dragon, a witty, rollicking tale about a black princess who refuses to be kidnapped and decides to kidnap the Dragon instead. If SciFi is your muse, Resurrection Dawn is for you and for a literary novel about homelessness in Ethiopia, check out Mister Drainpipe.

"I chose A Dragon for Christmas because Marc Secchia’s fantastic series, Call Me Dragon, didn’t have enough pages to keep me in reading material to quench my thirst, as it is currently only 4 books ;-). And, I am delighted that I did. The protagonists are a great deal of excitement and entertainment. "

"I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story. The author, Marc Secchia, always writes excellent, well written stories and this one is no exception."

"Absolutely brilliant mixture of my two favourite things, Christmas and Dragon. I love how this is written, the way the Elves talk and the very Scottish like talk of the human."
