He has also brought along a great giveaway. Marco has come to share an exclusive excerpt from his latest release, Blackout. His debut novel, Blackout, was nominated for a Lefty and won TheNYCBigBookAward and Independent Press Award for Best LGBTQ Novel, and the short story All In The Planning appears in Malice Domestic 16: Mystery Most Diabolical.Today I am so pleased to welcome Marco Carocari to Joyfully Jay.
Marco Carocari originally hails from Switzerland and lives in the Californian desert with his husband. My husband, a deck of playing cards, and my laptop. What is your favorite beverage to end the day?Īperol or Limoncello Spritz (anything Vodka if I want to crank it up)Ī new short story in the new Saints&Sinners anthology (March 2023), and finishing two WIP’s: My first present-day noir novel, and a Thriller set in Puerto Vallarta.Īt, on Twitter, and on Instagram. The Last King of California (Jordan Harper) There are quite a few, but Jordan Harper is my latest obsession.Ĭrime: mostly mysteries, thrillers, noir, and, occasionally, true crime. La Jefa, a cool coffee shop in Palm Springs, and in my beautiful midcentury-mod office that my hubby created for me. Today, most my work features interior design, architecture, and real estate. My work was published in reputable magazines and coffee table books around the world, but eventually, the need for food on the table turned me toward advertising and beauty photography.
During that time, I discovered my passion for photography and began an exciting-but poorly paid-career in portraiture and erotic art. What jobs have you held before, during and/or after you became a writer?Īfter high school, I trained for two years as a shop assistant, then became a flight attendant for Swissair. I wanted to write something that blended my favorite books and crime authors, both gay and straight, and hopefully created something unique. I dared myself after reading yet another fantastic book that I loved, but had no one like me in it.
I don’t think I’ve written characters with obvious quirks yet, but, apparently (according to my cheeky hubby) I have a tendency to explain my reasoning for a decision ad nauseam when a simple ‘yes’ or ’no’ would not only have been sufficient, but preferred. What’s the quirkiest quirk one of your characters has? Fast-forward four decades and hundreds of books later, and I decided to try my hand at writing my own, with a queer twist. Why do you write the genre that you write?Ĭrime fiction fascinated me early on, and I got my first copies of Agatha Christie books as a teen-detectives, amateur sleuths, cops and robber stories always hooked me way faster than anything else.
