I’m a physician writing fiction about systems, consequence, and control.

John S. White, II, MD is a Family Medicine physician and author of medical and speculative thrillers that fuse clinical realism with relentless narrative drive. Over a 26-year career, he has delivered babies, practiced primary care, and worked in emergency and urgent care settings—experience that informs the authenticity and urgency of his fiction.

His work explores the fault lines between science, technology, and human cost—where progress doesn’t always mean improvement. White writes with precision and restraint, favoring steady escalation and earned reveals over spectacle, creating stories that keep readers engaged without sacrificing depth.

His current novel, Harvest Protocol, imagines a near-future shaped by resource scarcity and technological dependence, where a subtle medical anomaly begins to reveal something far more dangerous beneath the surface.

Dr. White lives in Missouri and continues to practice medicine alongside his writing.
