KC Johnson writes thrillers and suspense, and contemporary stories that open windows and doors of diverse stories yet to be told. She lives her best life with her family in the Pacific Northwest and Washington D.C., and enjoys writing; mentoring; community engagement; reading deep, dark, or devastating novels; and binging on Supernatural, The Walking Dead, The Wire, and Queen Sugar. In her earlier life, she had dreams of being an archeologist, unraveling Unsolved Mystery’s, and an FBI investigator. KC has a wicked habit of cracking plot points while watching television, and terrible on twitter because character limits are too constraining. KC is represented by Jennifer March Soloway of Andrea Brown Literary Agency
