Author
Mary Ellen Johnson's writing career began with her passion for Medieval England. Her first book, THE LION AND THE LEOPARD, related the doomed reign of Edward II. She also collaborated on a second historical, THE LANDLORD'S BLACK-EYED DAUGHTER, which was published under the pseudonym, Mary Ellen Dennis. Mary Ellen is nearing completion of a five-book series, KNIGHTS OF ENGLAND, which spans the fourteenth century—a time that includes the Black Death, the Peasant's Revolt, the beginnings of the Hundred Years War, as well as the reign of England's greatest medieval king. THE LION AND THE LEOPARD (completely reworked), A KNIGHT THERE WAS, and WITHIN A FOREST DARK are all currently available in both print and electronic form. A CHILD UPON THE THRONE and Mary Ellen's final book, detailing the tragic reign of Richard II will be published by the end of 2017.
