''Nick Joseph DiMartino'' (born November 11, 1946) is a Seattle-based author, playwright, book reviewer and bookseller. To date he has published 15 novels, 2 non-fiction books and has had over 20 plays in full production. Many of his books feature local characters and settings. His plays are often treatments of classic books. ==History== DiMartino was born in Long Beach, California to Ernesto DiMartino (1922-2012),〔(Ernesto DiMartino obituary )〕 a second-generation Seattle fruit-and-vegetable merchant and later realtor, and Mamie Lombard DiMartino (1924-). Little Nick was named for his grandfather Nicola, but these days the Italian form of the name is usually feminine, so his parents baptized him just Nick. When Nick was six months old the family moved back to Seattle to stay. He attended Maple Elementary School, Cleveland High School, and the University of Washington where he majored in English Literature. After graduating from U.W. in 1969, he attended one semester of graduate school on a full scholarship at Johns Hopkins University before returning to Seattle and going to work at University Book Store, where he became a book buyer. He has used this position to make sure classic books always remain on the shelves, despite the higher profit margins of Washington Huskies sports clothing. From his first published work, a one-act play called ''The Polar Bear'' (which won Scholastic Magazine's First Prize), Nick has completed 55 books and authored over 24 plays. His play ''Frankenstein'' has been performed by the Honolulu Theatre for Youth, First Stage Children's Theater in Milwaukee, Dallas Children's Theater, twice at Nashville Children's Theatre and twice at Louisville's Stage One,〔(Stage One History )〕 where it was videotaped in 1997〔(Frankenstein listing )〕 by the BBC and released as a family theatre video by Globalstage to great reviews.〔(Frankenstein reviews )〕〔(Frankenstein review )〕
