John P Hopkins

Author and artist John Hopkins’ passion for the sci-fi genre and curiosity for what lies beyond common knowledge shape his character-driven storytelling. While active in his accomplished career in communication arts, John followed his muse, publishing Lost Cactus comic strips set on a top-secret base akin to Area 51. The ensuing award-winning comic anthologies included a shared universe of short stories and humorous essays that spawned John’s sci-fi thriller trilogy. Written in the veins of his influences from Edgar Rice Burroughs and Philip K. Dick to Michael Crichton and James Rollins et al., Books One and Two in The Powers That Be trilogy, The Golden Ellipse, and The Lost Ship, are available now. Book Three, The Blue Spark, is scheduled for 2024. An expanding library of shared universe short stories is available for download at your favorite bookseller. John is working on a series of graphic novels under the Lost Cactus Archives banner, featuring his comic strip’s diverse and quirky cast and expansive lore.
