I learned that Marc's book is "a hip-hop noir" that may be compared to Tom Wolfe. I also tweeted the giveaway. Looks like a great giveaway- thanks for entering me :-)

It's a great giveaway. But, I'll bow out this time as I have several of those books.
Good luck everyone!

Left a comment on Marc's Huge Announcement July 7th blog!
Thanks for the head's up!
I learned that in 2004 Marc and his wife sold their apartment and went travelling to all kinds of places, like China, Tasmania, Brazil, Argentina, and so on. I'm a bit jealous. :P
And I just tweeted about the giveaway. (@tanabata2000)
Good idea for me to visit his blog. I learned he is a voracious reader of mysteries and thrillers. Figures. We have something in common - we both love Elmore Leonard books. Count me in.
I looked up Marc and found that he wrote songs and won a grammy before he started writing novels.
I follow you on google reader.
I follow you on twitter and tweeted at ccqdesigns.

I went to his site... never eve heard of "hi-hop noir" before.. had to do a google search. This could keep me from working the est of the day lol.
And ummm, I became his facebook fan, because I am that kind of girl.
:)
Oh, should add, I am on his twitter too and left a comment regarding his blog post about jingles.
In other words Lisa, please enter me inthe drawing :)
Thanks!
I went over to Marc's "place" and left him a comment. Wow he's been nominated for a Grammy!
Please enter me.
I'll let you know if I ever figure out how to log in and use my twitter account;-)
I'll be following you!

I think Marc's gotta be an interesting guy. Look at all the jobs he's had...golf caddy, Rotor Rooter man, tenement superintendent, keyboard player in a lounge band, was a hip-hop white boy pioneer record producer. That's a lot of stuff.
I can't imagine how Marc & his wife divide their time between living and staying in NY & Nicaragua. They're transatlantic miles away.
Commented on his entry about the completed negotiations with Raymond De Felitta for a feature film of HUMPTY DUMPTY by Marc Blatte.
Added Marc in FB & Twitter.
I also twitted it (@ivanulrich).
Thanks for the giveaway.

Marc Blatte. I have seen his book somewhere, just don't remember where I saw it for the first time. (thru' twitter? I'm just guessing) I think I also saw it on your blog, right? I did spend some time on his blog last time though I don't remember much except the name of the book and the cover. Like the title.
Well, Its voted one of Mostly Fiction's top picks for 2009. How cool I am for picking up the first line I saw on the blog :)
Marc and I are already following each other on Twitter.
Tweeted the giveaway as well.
