Hi there! I’m John Wilker, a Science Fiction writer.

I currently have three series for you to choose from.

Science fiction and action-adventure stories are in my blood, as kookie as that sounds. As a reader, I can’t get enough and as a writer, I am overflowing with story ideas! I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.

My work is available wherever ebooks are sold.

I’m also a conference organizer. Bringing people together is a passion of mine. I’ve been organizing conferences since 2007 and well, I’m good at it. Between that and writing, I’m doing what I love every single day.

I’m an active member of the following organizations.

How To Resist Amazon and Why

My Not a Hot Take on Basecamp

A friend shared this. At the core of the Basecamp kerfuffle, it’s a disagreement at work around a tense subject. I’ve seen this play out many times before and after reading all the accounts from all sides it boils down to an executive unwilling to take the L. — Matt Haughey (@mathowie) April 28, 2021 […]
