John A. Reynolds

John A. Reynolds is an author, photographer, graphic designer, and veteran video editor whose creative career spans more than four decades. Publishing both under his own name and the creative identity FLATLINERACER, Reynolds combines a lifelong interest in visual storytelling with an equally strong curiosity about history, consciousness, unexplained phenomena, spirituality, and the unusual stories that often exist at the edges of conventional research.

His creative roots reach back to the bold visual culture of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Growing up with Rat Fink, Odd Rods, custom cars, muscle machines, monster trucks, television vehicles, and bubble-gum trading cards helped inspire Radical Riders, his fantasy illustration series celebrating outrageous machines and, just as importantly, the unforgettable characters behind the wheel. The series reimagines the spirit of classic card-shop artwork through modern digital illustration.

But Radical Riders represents only one side of his work.

Reynolds has expanded his publishing into extensively illustrated nonfiction examining subjects that have fascinated him for decades. His books include The Gateway Process: Separating Science, Speculation, and Consciousness, Declassified: 80 Years of Government Investigations into UFOs, The Tartaria Mystery, The Book of Ashtar, THE BOOK OF ASHTAR: The Red Book — Volume 1 (2026), and Edgar Cayce & the Akashic Records.

Although the subjects vary widely, the philosophy behind the books remains consistent: examine the available history, documents, claims, photographs, testimony, and competing interpretations while giving readers enough information to think about the evidence for themselves.

His background in professional photography, graphic design, color imaging, and video production strongly influences the way his books are created. Rather than treating imagery as decoration, Reynolds uses photographs, archival material, illustrations, diagrams, and carefully designed pages as an integral part of the storytelling.

From custom cars and forgotten Americana to government UFO investigations, consciousness research, historical mysteries, and spiritual traditions, his work is connected by one underlying fascination:

There is always more to the story.

And whether the subject is a Radical Rider behind the wheel, a forgotten photograph, a declassified government document, or a mystery that has survived for generations, John A. Reynolds continues to explore the people, ideas, images, and unanswered questions that leave a lasting impression.
