Marketing Manager, Holtzbrink Publishing/St. Martin's Press
Bayonne, New Jersey

John Tintera is a Marketing Manager with Holtzbrinck
Publishing/St. Martin’s Press in New York. After graduating from New York University in 1993, he pursued a career in book publishing, working as a sales assistant at Avon Books. In 1996 he left the world of romance novels to explore a call to the Catholic priesthood. He returned to the book business in 1997, with a new found appreciation for the priestly vocation, though realizing it was not for him. In 1999 he began a three year stint as sales manager for Crossroad Publishing, an independent Catholic press. In addition to playing rhythm guitar in a rehearsal-only rock band, he reviews books for nimblespirit.com and SALT, a lay-run independent Catholic bi-monthly. He lives with his wife, Sally Reier, in Bayonne, New Jersey.
