about me

I was born in Canada in 1972, took a degree in General Humanities from the University of Calgary, and immediately left for Europe. I made London my first home then went on to live in Paris and Barcelona. During that time I married a girl I met in a Paris café, returned to Canada, got divorced, absconded back to Spain where I met my lovely second wife. Now I'm living in Edinburgh.

'In Union Swift Rupture' is book one of a completed trilogy. I'm currently looking for an agent/publisher and can be contacted at jjhopejohnstone@yahoo.com

In Union Swift Rupture

Jared Hope-Johnstone

A strife of opposites rattles the world of the future. Four characters long for escape only to find furious Dark Energy lying in wait.


What is the most important thing in the universe? The peoples of the future think they know. They’d tell you the forces of attraction and repulsion rule everywhere and there’s no higher truth. But which force is stronger? Think hard before you answer. Getting it wrong might get you killed.

It’s 2241. The world has known only peace for over a century. In Rohr Switzerland a bizarre act evokes a strange fear. The town’s new administrator Lincoln de Guise investigates. A hidden savagery reveals itself.

Helene von Mayr is sent to Barcelona to report on the meeting of two new cults. Calamity throws her into the company of a gullible outsider. It’s the first time Simon Lafont has been outside his Commune. Horror-stories have sent him hurrying to Spain. He must see for himself the perverse ideas at loose in the world.

Lombo Niall is a convicted criminal in a world without crime. Is it a jailor or liberator who arrives in Rohr with a promise of freedom? It’s a black Orb the size of a fist. Extremist Expansion is its mantra and it comes with the gift of never-ending storm and glory.

Hi Neville, First my critique: The sentence beginning “A small open gate…” is a bit confusing. There are problems with point of view. It switches between Esmeralda and Tommy. You should have just one POV in one chapter. If you prefer omniscient narrator absent of POV, then we should only view ... view book

Very entertaining and well-written read. I can find no fault with it. As a suggestion, I'd only remove the line "still continuing his diatribe" as this made obvious by the next line (and ensuing rant). Your writing has a pleasant rhythm to it. Backed! Jared view book
