Writing for both adults and children, Mr. Johnson writes stories dubbed, "Stories from the Heartland." based on his life-long residency in rural Missouri.

Currently, Mr. Johnson has two G-rated children's books out with another coming soon. These are wholesome stories filled with good clean fun, adventure, and even a little mystery. Although people of all ages seem to love Mr. Johnson's stories, these chapter books are written at about the fourth-grade level. Picture books are planned for the future for a younger audience.

Fortunately, Mr. Johnson continues to write almost every day so be sure and check back frequently to catch his newest work. Mr. Johnson and his wife have been married 65+ years. They have five daughters and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
