John Gorski is the author of Hostages: A Gathering of Pawns, a genre-blending novel that fuses noir tension, speculative worldbuilding, and the sharp human cost of power.

He spent decades shaping the story through writing, critique, and revision, and credits a wide circle of supporters for helping transform the project from an earlier television-series screenplay concept into its final novel form.

John’s creative community also includes connections to independent filmmakers through the Pocono Mountains Film Festival. He writes with gratitude for the people who championed the work—and with a storytelling style that isn’t afraid to go dark, strange, or sharply honest.
