Marco T. Robayo was born in the city of Bogotá at the beginning of the sixties. From a very young age he was fascinated by letters and at the age of nine he had his first contact with the literary world. Already at sixteen, he participated in several literary contests, achieving the first recognitions for his narrative style.

He pursued higher studies in mechanical engineering in his hometown and then moved with his family to the city of Barranquilla, where he stayed for eight years. It was there precisely where the initial lines of his first novel, 'The White Labyrinth', were written, with which he began the creation of stories that carry with them an enormous load of drama, pain, fortune and hope.

Marco has developed in his literary career a special talent when it comes to narrating these feelings.

The situations and environments of his stories pose adventures, hardships and joys in places where his characters lead us to experience those events.

His novels, Scarlett: The Divine Essence of Desire; Transmigration: the fifth sepulchre; The Great Genocide and his most recent novel; A life for Steven, these last two published by Editorial Planeta.

With his novel 'El gran genocidio', Marco has participated in conferences and discussions at different Colombian universities and literary activities such as the international book fairs in Bogotá, Miami and Guadalajara.

Currently the writer is based in the city of Dallas, United States where he lives with his family.
