About John

The person
behind the pages.

Hello. I’m John Oldroyd.

I’m a writer of young adult science fiction and fantasy, based in Utah. I’ve completed a speculative fiction novel, and I’m looking forward to sharing more about the story as its next chapter takes shape.

I’m also a patent attorney. Words, ideas, and the work of creating something new are a big part of my everyday life.

This website is a place for my writing: book news, announcements, and notes along the way. If you’re here at the beginning, welcome. There’s more to come.
