Hi there! I’m John Wilker 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.

I’ve been organizing conferences since 2007 and well, I’m good at it. Between that and writing, I’m doing what I love.

Finish a Book, Get Free Beer

So, this is a new one, and I have ZERO objections :) Given that we’re moving into winter, and that Denver (and CO, and most of America) are racing towards new COVID-19 surges, Nicole and I went to one of our favorite breweries to do some “work from a patio, with beer,” work. I was […]

Can We Just Start Over on Star Trek?

We watched Discovery Season 3 Episode 1 the other night. I’m cautiously optimistic. To date we’ve watched 3 episodes of Season 1 before NOPING out. We watched all of season 2 while fighting the urge to NOPE out. It wasn’t horrible but was bad. If there’s a bright point to season 2 it’s that it […]

Scrivener for iOS (NOT iPadOS) needs some love

I get it. Software is hard and takes time. I’ve never begrudged developers taking the time to release good software and good updates. Scrivener might be the exception to my “Don’t complain” policy. Scrivener is still an iOS app, with an iPad interface. We’ve had iPadOS now for over a year. iPadOS 14 came out […]

Oh, by the way, I write Thrillers too.

Lesson learned, release two books really close to each other, while also running conferences, means something will not get the love it deserves. In this case, it’s my action/adventure thriller ‘Island of Secrets‘ I decided to branch out a bit from science fiction to write something a little more down to Earth. A team of […]

A Reader

“This is one of the most fun Sci Fi books I’ve read in a while! Highly recommend! “

Publishers Weekly Booklife Prize

“In a solidly entertaining sci-fi adventure, a NASA astronaut, kidnapped by aliens, winds up as a smuggler with a misfit crew on a mission to save the universe.”

Literary Titan

“An epic sci-fi tale that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.”

The Space Rogues Series

Wil and the crew of the Ghost are a lot of things: smugglers, privateers, sometimes pirates, always heroes (mostly).

These are their stories. Stories of adventures, monsters, bad guys, and, as the crew call them, Earthisms.
