Character-driven sci-fi storytelling.
I’m John Hopkins, an author, artist, and lifelong storyteller. Join me in exploring what lies beyond common knowledge through my character-driven tales, which began as a comic strip and have evolved into a multiverse of science fiction short stories and epic action-adventure novels—with more in the pipeline.
Books, graphic novels, art, and more.
