Kenneth Passan

I have been a writer since 2003, although my full time job was nursing, as an RN. Before earning my master's degree in forensic science, my writing began for Forensic Nurse magazine. I had several articles published. Later, when the magazine folded, I combined much of those articles and with months of additional information and much editing, I made those into my first book; a nonfiction called Forensics and the Violent Criminal Mind. My second book which would be my final nonfiction is Monsters Among Us: Man's Inhumanity to Man. Later I got into writing thriller novels which includes the paranormal horror, crime stories, and any other stories I could come up with that are exciting and would make the reader anxious to keep reading and reading. As a former avid reader myself, I have been there and love books to read that I hate to put down.

Those are my current details. My past includes: Being in the US Coast Guard for 14 years and serving in Vietnam, working at the FBI in Washington DC as a fingerprint examiner, later a deputy sheriff and correctional officer in Maryland and then a CO in CT. In 1990, I entered the nursing field as a registered nurse, served in numerous specialties-mostly psychiatric and then forensic nursing. I am now retired, working part time only voluntarily, and use much of my free time to write and promote my books. I have considerable public speaking experience and teaching experience in addition to the above.
