Dr. Jim Fullen
Dr. Jim Fullen is an author of science fiction and speculative fiction
whose novels explore humanity’s encounters with the unknown—and the
choices that follow.
His work includes the completed Asteron Chronicles and
The Devine Fracture trilogies, along with
Asylum Earth and other speculative novels exploring discovery,
intelligence, responsibility, and the consequences of human choice.
With a doctorate in Business Administration and a professional career
in the field, Fullen brings an interest in people, organizations,
decision-making, and consequences to stories that reach far beyond
the familiar world.
His fiction combines science, discovery, human relationships, and
questions of responsibility while remaining grounded in
character-driven storytelling.
An Unexpected Journey into Writing
Writing was not the career Dr. Jim Fullen originally set out to pursue.
With a doctorate in Business Administration and a professional career
in the field, his path to becoming an author began much later—and in
an unexpected place.
In 2024, Fullen wrote his first book, a children’s story titled
George the Wayward Dolphin. What began as a creative project
soon opened the door to something much larger.
By 2025, writing had become a serious pursuit. The stories grew larger,
the questions became more ambitious, and science fiction became a
natural home for the ideas he wanted to explore.
A longtime admirer of stories such as Star Trek,
Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy, and
Avatar, Fullen has always been drawn to worlds that make the
impossible feel possible. But what interests him most is not simply
the technology, distant planets, or civilizations beyond Earth.
It is what those discoveries reveal about us.
Curiosity is where the story begins.
What if the world is larger, stranger, and more connected than we imagine?
For Jim Fullen, science fiction begins with curiosity. Sometimes that
curiosity looks outward—to Mars, distant civilizations, and humanity’s
place in the universe. At other times it looks inward, toward the
technologies we create and the choices we make when knowledge and power
advance faster than our ability to understand their consequences.
Across The Asteron Chronicles and
The Devine Fracture, those questions take very different forms.
One begins with discovery and first contact. The other confronts
prediction, artificial intelligence, human authority, and the boundaries
between what humanity can do and what it should do.
But discovery is only the beginning. His stories are ultimately interested
in what people do once the impossible becomes real—how they respond to fear,
uncertainty, responsibility, trust, power, and one another.
Above all, the goal is to tell an engaging story. If readers finish the
final page entertained, curious about what might actually be possible,
and perhaps thinking about humanity a little differently, then the story
has accomplished what it set out to do.
I want readers to enjoy the journey, but I also want them to wonder
what might be possible—and what our choices say about who we are.
Life beyond the stories.
Dr. Jim Fullen makes his home in Tennessee, where life away from writing
provides its own opportunities for exploration. He enjoys camping,
traveling, and cruising—experiences that satisfy much of the same
curiosity that finds its way into his fiction.
Whether the destination is somewhere on Earth or somewhere imagined far
beyond it, the appeal is much the same: seeing what lies beyond the
familiar and discovering what might be waiting around the next corner.
Taking Asteron from the page to the screen.
The story that began on Mars is entering a new form.
With both The Asteron Chronicles and
The Devine Fracture now complete as novel trilogies,
Fullen continues exploring new stories while also developing
The Asteron Chronicles as an episodic television screenplay
adaptation.
The adaptation translates the journey of Daniel Carter and Emily
Walker—and humanity’s discovery of the hidden civilization of
Asteron—from the novels to the screen.
It offers an opportunity to experience the story differently: the first
mission to Mars, the discovery beneath its surface, the growing
relationship between two civilizations, and the choices that ultimately
shape the futures of both worlds.
The screenplay adaptation is currently in development, with the hope
that the right opportunity will one day bring the world of Asteron to
television audiences.
