Hi, I’m Jonathan Howard—sci-fi author, worldbuilder, and the kind of person who drinks too much pop while obsessing over story structure.

I write stories set in dark futures and strange worlds where survival is uncertain, loyalties are tested, and the line between man and monster is razor-thin. My current series explores the rise of the Rotundra—reptilian beings who have overtaken Earth—told through visions, betrayals, and unlikely alliances. It’s gritty, emotional, and a little uncomfortably close to the world we live in.

I’ve spent over a decade as a middle school English teacher, helping students find their voice and their confidence as writers and readers. That background has shaped my approach to storytelling—I value clarity, impact, and stories that leave you thinking long after the final page.

When I’m not writing or teaching, I’m either parenting two wild and wonderful boys, losing sleep over book marketing, or sneaking in late-night sessions of old-school RuneScape (don’t judge me).

If you like high-stakes sci-fi with a human core, strange but believable monsters, and characters you’ll want to fight for and against, you’ll probably enjoy my books.

Thanks for stopping by. I’d love for you to join my mailing list and get exclusive stories, updates, and behind-the-scenes insights into the Rotundran world and beyond.
