John Marco was born and raised on Long Island, NY, and grew up reading and enjoying fantasy adventure stories. The great works of Tolkien, Michael Moorcock, and Marion Zimmer Bradley were all profound influences on him. His first series, Tyrants and Kings, is an expression of his passion for epic literature and military history.
Before becoming a full time fiction writer, John worked as a technical writer in various industries, including aviation, computer technology, and home security.
His first novel, The Jackal of Nar, was published in March, 1999 and became a genre bestseller. Since then, it has been published in numerous countries and languages. In early 2000, it won the 3rd annual Barnes and Noble Maiden Voyage Award for best first science fiction/fantasy novel. It was followed up by The Grand Design in April, 2000 and the final book of the trilogy, The Saints of the Sword, in February, 2001.
Now that final book of the Tyrants and Kings saga has been completed, John has been hard at work on The Eyes of God, the first novel of a new epic fantasy series. The book has been sold to DAW book in the U.S. for hardcover publication, as well as Victor Gollancz in the U.K. He enjoys hearing from readers and invites those who are interested to visit his Website, www.tyrantsandkings.com.
