Author and artist John Hopkins’ passion for the science fiction genre and curiosity for what lies beyond common knowledge shape his illustrative, 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. 

Drawing inspiration from his favorite authors, 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 shared universe of The Powers That Be short stories is also downloadable from your favorite bookseller. 

John also develops graphic novels under his Lost Cactus Archives banner, featuring his comic strip’s diverse and quirky cast and expansive lore.
