A former journalist, J.C. wrote for The Palm Beach Post, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Lexington Herald-Leader (Ky.), and Wizard: The Comics Magazine.
Specializing in features and entertainment reporting, J.C. interviewed comic book industry icons such as Alan Moore, Will Eisner, Warren Ellis, Kevin Smith, Mark Waid and Neil Gaiman. During a 2001 controversy sparked by B.C., a popular newspaper comic strip, one critic considered J.C.’s feature on the topic “the single best piece of journalism generated by the controversy.” J.C. left the journalism business in 2002 to write his 7th Son thriller trilogy.
He has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, OMMA magazine, Blogger and Podcaster magazine, on BBC and Italian national radio, and in more than 100 podcast interviews.
J.C. lives in South Florida with his girlfriend, and their cat, Chester.
