INTERVIEW

Can you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?

My name is John J. Zelenski, and I am from beautiful Northeastern Pennsylvania, where I get to watch the four seasons pass with my wife and two teenage children.  I think I became an author at an early age, but never started putting my stories to paper until around fourteen years ago.   What I mean is that I’ve always been a storyteller at heart, even from a younger age developing and cultivating stories in my mind.  

What is something unique/quirky about you?

I am a huge Chuck Norris fan and I love heavy metal music – specifically Christian heavy metal.  In a dream come true of sorts, my friend Les Carlsen, former lead singer of Christian Music Hall of Fame inductee, Bloodgood, graciously wrote an endorsement on the back cover of The Journal of Ezekiel Walker.

Tell us something really interesting that's happened to you!

As a child, our home was witness to strange and otherworldly experiences when my family and I first moved into that house.  Only after our then pastor blessed each room in the house, did the manifestations cease. 

What do you do to unwind and relax?

Silly, but, when possible, I love to soak in a hot tub and read.

Describe yourself in 5 words or less!

Christian, loyal, funny (I think)

Do you have a favorite movie?

Any of the Alien films will do.

Which of your novels can you imagine made into a movie?

Actually, I am truly blessed to say that Walker’s Vale is presently optioned to be developed into a film. Walker's Vale - Production & Contact Info | IMDbProWe are in the early stages but getting closer each day!

As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?

An orange rhino – orange is my favorite color!

The Journal of Ezekiel Walker


Walker’s Vale Book 2

In the fall of 1945, just after World War II, Ezekiel Walker has returned home on a furlough from his Civilian Public Service Unit. As Ezekiel tries to adjust back to life at the farm, strange and unexplainable events begin to occur at the homestead and Ezekiel begins to experience visions and bizarre sightings.

When a stranger suddenly arrives with promises to rebuild the small town of Walker’s Vale and befriend the young Ezekiel, a portal to the supernatural is opened and lives will never be the same. With seemingly no one at his side, Ezekiel is forced to become the man he doubts he can become and to finally understand his part in the war between the angelic and the demonic.
