About the author

Jarrod Guyer

Jarrod Guyer isn’t just telling stories—he’s living one. After selling everything and leaving the U.S., he now writes and roams full-time across Europe with his family, turning personal transformation into powerful storytelling. With tattooed arms, a skater’s soul, and a passport full of stamps, Jarrod creates bold, emotionally rich fiction that challenges norms and sticks with you long after the final page.
He’s the author of Shadows & Secrets, a dark, genre-blending supernatural thriller where family loyalties, hidden agendas, and ideological clashes collide in a world of vampires and rebellion. He’s also the creator of The Outsiders’ Club, a gritty, heartfelt children’s book series for ages 7–12 that follows a diverse crew of misfit kids facing real-world struggles. Books in the series include:
We Got Your Back – confronting bullying and reclaiming identity
Broke, Not Broken – navigating financial struggles and belonging
Our Place – fighting to protect what matters and standing up for each other
Now, with his upcoming novel The Synthetic Majority, Jarrod turns his lens to the near future—a provocative, century-spanning saga where AI and robotics evolve from helpers to rulers, challenging the very nature of freedom, identity, and control. It’s a sweeping, socially charged exploration of a world where humanity must confront the systems it built—and the consequences of ceding too much.
From raw realism to speculative futures, Jarrod Guyer writes with grit, empathy, and an unflinching eye on the truth—both personal and political.
