John Ostrander

John Ostrander (born 20 April 1949) is an American comic book writer who made several abortive attempts to write for Doctor Who prior to his first published work of fiction, Autopia in 2009. In the mid-1980s he wrote a theatrical play, The Inheritors of Time that was abandoned due to lack of funding and in the 2000s he was announced as the writer of the Big Finish Productions audio play Dead Man's Hand, which was ultimately not produced.

Ostrander's first published work in the DWU was likely the foreward to Blood and Hope, written in October 2003.
