About John Passarella

John PassarellaI am a married father of three, and reside in Logan Township, New Jersey. Currently, I write full-time (that is, when I'm not working on business, my website design and author promotion business, AuthorPromo.com). While I enjoy writing in the genres of dark fantasy, supernatural thrillers, horror, science fiction, fantasy and mystery, I have been concentrating on horror and supernatural stories in recent years.

WITHER won the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel for 1999The co-authored Wither was my first published novel. Columbia Pictures purchased the film rights to Wither in a preemptive, pre-publication bid. Wither won the Bram Stoker Award in 2000 for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. I followed Wither with the media tie-ins Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Ghoul Trouble and Angel: Avatar. Next came my stand-alone sequel to Wither, Wither's Rain. In 2004, I had two novels published, Angel: Monolith and Wither's Legacy. My most recent novel, Kindred Spirit was a June 2006 release.

I am an active member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA) and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), a regular member of The Authors Guild, and a member of the Garden State Horror Writers.

I graduated from Interboro High School (Prospect Park, PA) and Widener University (Chester, PA). That's the Buccaneers and the Pioneers, respectively.

From June 1996 through 2005, I wrote articles on Microsoft Word and other soft & hard areas of the computer world for WindoWatch, a free webzine.

A former Treasurer of the Horror Writers Association, and a current mentor, I am also the webmaster for the Garden State Horror Writers.

My Other Interests

 

  • Web Page Design: (See AuthorPromo.com) Since 1996 I've been coding my own web pages. I was primarily responsible for giving the Horror Writers Association public web pages a new, modern look. I'm also the webmaster for the Garden State Horror Writers site, and Matthew's Miles (charity walkathon - www.matthewsmiles.org) I've started an author promotion business, which consists largely (but not exclusively) of web page design/hosting/maintenance. Go to www.authorpromo.com for more info. Recent clients are #1 NY TIMES BESTSELLER Nicholas Sparks and NY TIMES BESTSELLER Harlan Coben.
    (Note: you don't need to be an author for me to design your website.)
  • WindoWatch: I am the former MS Word editor for WindoWatch and have continued to contribute articles on Word and other computer related topics for this free webzine since June 1996.
  • Microsoft Word: I have created "Aspiring" shareware and freeware templates for Microsoft Word, including the popular, 5-Star template for screenwriting called ScreenPro.
  • Graphic Arts: I also enjoy drawing in the real world in addition to tinkering with computer graphics programs.
  • Comic Books: Yes, I collected them. Now I'm hoping to sell a few from the early 1980s period. Check out my comic books page to see what's available.
