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.

“First-rate, stylish work from Mr. Nassise, with a steady escalation of the story’s speed that makes it almost literally breath-taking.” - Clive Barker, Bestseller
"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
