Without knowing it, Pascal has been a serious writer since the sixth grade when, at the time, he and school chum, Dan Dietrich, filled stacks upon stacks of steno pads with their creative writings. The free-spirited, imaginative boys penned wild spy stories of international intrigue and mystery, creating unflinching patriotic characters. Based upon inspiration he received from movie and television heroes like James Bond and Napoleon Solo, Pascal's fictional characters mirrored his favorite secret agent, the one and only, Derek Flint.
Baseball is also a passion of Pascal's, being formally introduced to the game when his mom agreed to sign him up to play in the Annunciata Little League in their steel mill neighborhood on
Chicago's far Southeast Side. Today, he's still an unadulterated Chicago White Sox fan, yearning for his Pale Hose to recapture the glory of winning another World Series. His hope is that it will once again happen during his lifetime and will not take another 88 years to achieve like the last one in 2005.
Pascal writes fiction, non-fiction and edits other people's work. He is available for hire to work for you in any capacity as long as he's not remunerated with Chicago Transit Authority bus tokens (as if anyone still has these besides his brother, Eddie).

What some folks have to say about Pascal--
"Pascal Marco's Identity: Lost is a realistic portrayal of what it was like to be a homicide cop on the South Side of Chicago in the 1970s. Reading it made me miss the job. That's how good the writing and how true the action is."
-Andy Abbott | Homicide Detective, Chicago Police Department, Retired
