Books by John Nicholas Datesh

This is the biography page for John Nicholas Datesh. Born in 1950, John Nicholas Datesh lived mostly in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania until early 2009. At Brown University, he took many courses in writing as an institutionalized rationale for doing just that. Then, at Boston University School of Law, he learned to mix in words and phrases like “Hereinafter” and “It Depends”. He still uses the latter a lot.In 2009, he moved to a condo one mile east of Naples Bay in Florida. He began writing fiction with a pencil and published his first three books, the SF/Mystery novel “The Nightmare Machine”; the Soft-boiled Detective novel “The Janus Murder”; and the International Suspense novel “The Moscow Tape”, before ebooks existed.His short stories “The Pro Station” (WWII), “The Final Equation” (SF), “Reruns ad Infinitum” (SF/Fantasy) and “You Could Call It a Christmas Story” are available as Kindle books on Amazon.His 2013 novel, “The Girl in the Coyote Coat”, overstepped the boundaries of mystery/suspense genre for which it was originally intended. No one would call it a romance, either. With a real estate and finance backdrop, the novel exposes how love, sex, money, scams, thievery, drugs, house shopping and fur coats can destroy the lives of complex and intriguing characters.2016's “The Body in the Bog” is the first novel in his “Death by Condo” mystery/suspense series. 2016 also saw the publication of 'The Last Three Minutes,' a cyber ghost story.All six novels are available as ebooks and trade paperbacks on Amazon.
