"Wow. Marc Zirogiannis crafts a stunning, heart-wrenching story in The Suffering of Innocents. The writing is magnificent. The characters are well developed and realistic in their mannerisms and attitudes. Zirogiannis captures the trauma and devastation suffered by the family to a tee. My heart was aching, in several instances my eyes were watering, and I too, was internally asking the question, “Why?” to a God that seemed to be testing my own faith as I slowly became enmeshed with the family."

it gripping new spiritual drama, The
Suffering of Innocents, from the mind of author, Marc Zirogiannis.
Sam and
Laura Job have the perfect life. They
have a wonderful marriage. Beautiful

the blessings modern life has to offer.
Their life was idyllic until a moment of tragedy changed everything for

Of Zirogiannis’ last novel a critic wrote “Pannino is Dead
is just about un-put-down-able... The suspenseful plot progresses chapter after
tense chapter… Zirogiannis, who is also a journalist, writes in a concise and
vivid style. Words are chosen carefully.”

Article first published as Book Review: ‘Pannino is Dead’ by Marc Zirogiannis on Blogcritics.
“Pannino is Dead” by Marc Zirogiannis begins one morning with John Sebastian who, while following his regular morning routine, listens to the local news and finds out that an unidentified body of a Rikers Island correctional officer was found. By the end of the day Sebastian hears in the news that the body was identified as Robert Pannino. John had met Pannino while serving a weekend sentence in jail five years ago, where Pannino worked as a correctional officer. Later on Sebastian gets a mysterious phone call from the murderer letting him know he killed Pannino for him.
Zirogiannis presents an interesting first crime story in a short novella format. There is no doubt that it is a great start for this author as he displayed his writing skills in character development and plot. However, I wished he would have included more action. I am not used to short stories, so I hope Zirogiannis’ next work will be a novel size display of his great writing abilities. I liked the plot and found it very interesting and unique, so much so that I wished for more. To me it just felt too short. Other than that, Zirogiannis’ writing style was spot on as it hooked me from the very beginning.
“Pannino is Dead” by Marc Zirogiannis is an interesting but short and easy read that will be enjoyable to fans of short stories, crime stories lovers with little time for big novels, and anyone looking for a quickie book to get a reading fix when on the road or on a bus or train. I do recommend it as an entertaining short book and believe Zirogiannis is definitely an author to watch. I look forward to seeing full length crime novels from him in the future.

USA: Made in Hellas- A Look at a New Documentary
Marc 15, 2014- "Having met or write about many amazing individuals of Greek descent in America, we felt the need to visually document some of the most intriguing stories we had access to. This is what Greek Reporter’s new documentary, USA: Made in Hellas, is all about. We decided to take up this task with a sense of responsibility to the accuracy of the stories of the participating individuals for the next generations to see.
USA: Made in Hellas wants to show that during the Greek crisis, and with Greece and Cyprus often being projected with a negative image around the world..."
