About the author

John A. Hopkins

I was born in the Midlands in the UK, and now live in south London with my partner. I studied physics at university, and I have a strong interest in maths and science, and now work in the IT industry. Always been an avid reader, but as I got a bit older, this turned into an interest in writing, from little stories as a kid, to eventually getting to a point where I started to write in my spare time after work.<br>After lots of false starts, I am now in possession of a vast backlog of research from broad plot ideas to a paragraph that might make an interesting addition to a plot, to a sentence to add colour and depth to a story. My research spans genres and settings – modern thriller, historical fiction and sci-fi, and I usually have several projects on the go.<br>My first novel, The Careless Fraudster, is a modern thriller, available on Amazon.<br>My second, Atomic Secrets is an alternate history novel introduces David Brook, an operative for British intelligence working in the aftermath of an alternate end to World War 2.
