Marci Blackman is the author of two novels and several short works of fiction. Blackman’s first novel, Po Man’s Child, received the American Library Association’s Stonewall award for Best LBGT Fiction, the Firecracker Alternative Book Award for Best Fiction, and was chosen for distribution by the Quality Paperback Book Club. Blackman's second novel, an historical murder mystery set in rural ohio, entitled, Tradition, is currently on submission. In addition to fiction, Blackman co-edited the Lambda nominated anthology, Beyond Definition: New Writing from Gay and Lesbian San Francisco, and the novelist's first nonfiction title, Bike NYC: The Cyclist's Guide to New York City (June 2011, Skyhorse Publishing), is available for Pre-order on Amazon.
Born to activist parents during the height of the civil rights movement in Yellow Springs, Ohio—home to Antioch College, the alma mater of Coretta Scott King—Blackman's writing explores what it means to be "other" in communities often deemed "other" themselves, in the end revealing that as human beings there are many more similarities between us than differences.
Blackman lives and writes in New York.
