AM Johnson is from the enchanted isle of Tasmania, the 'Island State' of Australia and she has published four books. With strokes of her fountain pen, words flow, recording her imagination and real life. Quiet moments lost at the top of magic trees as a child gave her a thirst for more and more books and this gave fuel for the future. Life for her in the Derwent Valley in Tasmania is idyllic, with her husband, little dog Maxx and an elderly, cranky cockatoo. Picking up a pen and creating her own worlds and characters, has always been her dream and with her published books this is now a reality. She is also a well known local barista.
