Joe Nassise’s Summary
I'm a professional writer, specializing in novels, screenplays, and comics. A good selection of my work is available at my website - www.josephnassise.com - and I invite you to stop by and take a look. I've worked with major publishers in more than seven countries and am always looking for new and interesting projects.
I'm a past president of the Horror Writers Association, the world's largest organization of professional horror writers, and a Bram Stoker Award and International Horror Guild Award nominee.

"With HERETIC, Joseph Nassise kicks off his TEMPLAR CHRONICLES in fine, swaggering style. This book bobs and weaves like the young Muhammed Ali, keeping us off-guard and entertained with its every surprising move.” - Peter Straub, Bestseller
