Hi, I’m John Nassari. By day I work as a London-based photographer, but by night I lose myself in the worlds of fantasy. I fell in love with fantasy stories as a teenager, and that spark grew into a lifelong passion for writing and world-building.

My debut novel, The Dream Traveller: Dark Rising, was released in May 2024 and to my amazement (and delight) it quickly resonated with readers. It went on to hit the No. 1 Best Seller spot on Amazon Kindle in August 2024, and was a finalist in the 2024 Page Turner Awards. The Audible edition, narrated by the brilliant Peter Kenny, was released later that year and went on to win a Silver Medal in the eLit Awards, 2024.

The journey has continued with more recognition than I ever expected– Finalist in the 19th Annual National Indie Excellence® Awards (2025), long-listed in the 2025 Ozma Awards for Fantasy Fiction, 2025 Finalist YA Fantasy - General, Readers' Favorite, and more. But the real reward has been hearing from readers who’ve connected with the characters and worlds I’ve created.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my work – it means the world to me. Your support, encouragement, and imagination are what make this journey possible.
