About the Angel Chronicles...

One day J.K. Johnson’s mom committed suicide in front of her eyes. The 35 year old author went into a daze after the coroner took the body away. It’s all a blur now, but she knows she had a serious automobile accident, driving while drunk. For the next six years of her life, J.K. found herself behind bars because of the severity of the injury to the other driver. The story in this book began the day all this took place. Every day of those six years behind bars, the lines of the mystery/romance, with an otherworldly connection, were channeled to her, and she wrote them down, often on toilet paper. And every night the other inmates would listen anxiously for the next installment…

J.K. Johnson’s life hasn’t been easy. Aside from seeing her mother kill herself, then spending years in jail after an accident she had while driving drunk afterward, she grew up with an abusive, alcoholic father. Forced to drop out of school in the ninth grade, she did get her GED at age 16. The one thing positive her father did was force her to memorize words from the dictionary when she misbehaved, by his bizarre rules. 

Her mom was a different story. Part Native American, she was a very spiritual and loving woman. The book J.K.’s written reflects that spiritual and warm side. There’s an undercurrent of the other world throughout this tale of mystery and romance, and the ongoing struggle between good and evil, with entities from the other world penetrating this one, are never far from her consciousness as well as its pages.

But that’s not all there is to this lady. J.K.’s a talented artist and sculptor. To keep the roof over her head, she fixes the roofs of others, and is a home renovator as well.

This is the author’s first foray into the written word. She’s already developing the next two in line, and another that is autobiographical. When she has time to get down from a roof.
 

J.K.'s going great guns with sales of her new book, we're happy to say, and expects a tidy profit before the end of the year. She has an innate sense of marketing and of course an intriguing book, and everywhere she goes she's finding excited readers and new buyers. Plans are to issue a follow-up trade paperback run by January 2009.

We suggested to J.K. that she start her own imprint, and she diligently went to work to create Angel Fire Publications. Look for more books from her in The Angel Chronicles series, and other books both autobiographical and fiction.
