Biography
John Nicholas Datesh (a slick commercial pseudonym for John Nicholas Datesh, Jr.) was born in 1950 and has lived mostly in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Brown University, where he took several writing courses, and Boston University School of Law, where he unlearned how to write.
In 2009, he set aside a career in law, business and product development, to concentrate on writing and tanning, presumably in that order of dedication.
He has been writing fiction since before his English classes required it and has published three novels, "The Nightmare Machine", "The Janus Murder" and "The Moscow Tape", (now available as e-books via Amazon's Kindle Store and at Smashwords and, via Smashwords, many other online outlets).
More recently, he has e-published a collection of humorous and/or satiric posts from his blog EmptyGlassFull.com, grandly entitled "The Very First Blog Posts of All Time", and his definitive Christmas short story, "You Could Call It a Christmas Story", (both available through Smashwords.com).
His latest screenplay effort, "The Last Three Minutes", was written in Naples, Florida, where he now lives, and is not, at this time, being made into a major motion picture.

Smashwords book reviews by John Nicholas Datesh
- The Value of Life
on July 06, 2011
Five stars? Is that enough? Top notch book in every way. The pacing is perfect, except for the part about keeping folks up 'til 4 AM two nights in a row.
- Ransom X
on Oct. 23, 2011
Puts most of the best sellers you've read to shame. Truly compelling characters and a perfect ransom scheme. One big disappointment: I really wanted to shoot the villain myself.
