Jeanne Johnson was raised in Upstate New York. She must have been born a storyteller since, by the age of six, she was already concocting fantastical stories: horses lived in the family’s basement, some of which were blue; she had a cousin named MauKunna who lived in Hawaii and sent her exotic clothing; and she owned a pet dragon named Puffer who lived in the land of Honeylee, undoubtedly taken from Puff the Magic Dragon, who lived in the land of Honahlee. Her dreams of writing fiction nearly disintegrated, but she went on to work in the corporate world, where fiction thrives. After earning her master's degree in Thanatology (the study of death), she returned to her true passion: writing novels. When not asking questions about the meaning of life, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, gardening, and drinking an excellent dry martini. She and her husband currently reside in Maryland.
