Johnny Worthen grew up in the high desert snows and warm summer winds of the Wasatch Mountains. He graduated with a B. A. in English, minor in Classics and a Master's in American Studies from the University of Utah. After a series of businesses and adventures, including years abroad and running his own bakery, Johnny found himself drawn to the only thing he ever wanted to do -- write. And write he does. Well versed in modern literary criticism and cultural studies, Johnny writes upmarket multi-genre fiction, both traditionally and independently published. “ I write what I like to read, ” he says. “ That guarantees me at least one fan. ”
Johnny’ s best-selling series, The Books of Coronam, is an epic science fiction series in the vein of Frank Herbert’ s DUNE. It is available from Flame Tree Press, with international distribution through Simon and Schuster. Like Johnny’ s many other titles it is available wherever better books are sold.
When not writing his own stuff, Johnny edits professionally for a small dark fiction press in Los Angeles and teaches Creative Writing at the University of Utah. He lives in Sandy Utah with his wife, sons and cats. There’ s also a lawn.
