José H. Bográn is the internationally published author of novels, short stories, and scripts for film, plays, and television. José's genre of choice is thrillers, but he likes to throw in a twist of romance into the mix. Although he’s the son of a journalist, he ironically prefers to write fiction rather than fact.
His latest novel, DARKSOUL, co-authored with Steven Savile, is about Sophie Keane, an assassin devoted to the criminal organization called The Hidden, but her loyalty is tested with an impossible mission: supply children to be used as test subjects for a new bio weapon.
He serves as the Assistant Editor for The Big Thrill, and writes the occasional book review for The Washington Independent Review of Books.
In his native Spanish, he’s collaborated in three 20-episode TV serials for domestic broadcasting, and has penned several screenplays; the latest one for the movie 11 Cipotes, which was an early contender for the 2016 Oscars in the Foreign Film category.
He’s a member of the Crime Writers of Color, Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers, and Short Mystery Fiction Society where he served as the Vice President.
He signs his emails with the motto: “I never tell lies; I only write them.”
