Mr. Motta majored in psychology and minored in English literature at New York University. He also holds a master’s degree from Bernard Baruch College. He spent the last twelve years of his career as a Senior VP of Mendelsohn Media Research. Motta’s fourth and most current book, New York Survivor is an extension of his first, Memoirs of a New York City Guy, which was published in 2007. It is an updated version of the native New Yorker's hilarious account of his life and career at Time Inc., The New York Times and MMR, Inc. In 2008 he published a humorous novel woven into a timely chronicle of the presidential race of 2008. Love, Sex & Politics is a love story of two Americans renewing ties while competing with each other during the fascinating Democratic Party Primary. One year later he published an amusing, light-hearted mystery novel, Life & Death on the Queen Mary 2, which has been selling as an e-book in the U.S. and the UK.
