Jeanie P. Johnson

I have been writing novels since I was eighteen years old.  However, I was never able to publish any of them until 2015 right after I had turned 70 years old when Amazon started self-publishing.  My life-long dream of getting at least one of my books published had finally come true, and now I have over a 100 books published, but my Native American books sell the best.  Still I would like to boost my sales, and give more people the opportunity to read my stories.

I am a mother of 6 children who I read all my stories to when I first wrote them, and 14 grandchildren, some of which I also read my stories to.  Until I was able to publish my books, only my family and close friends ever heard my stories.

I have always been a woman of adventure raising my children on my own in the Idaho panhandle country with no running water or electricity in a 12 by 18 foot cabin (two stories and a loft) for ten years.  After my children were grown,  when I was 62 I built another cabin, designing it and building it on my own on acreages in Washington State.  During that time I got uterine cancer, and am a survivor for the last 15 years.  Since then, I moved to Texas, where I still do building projects, like building an arbor and shed out of old doors, refurbishing an old house I am living in, and gardening along with my writing.

All of my children and grandchildren remain in Washington, except for one son who has come to rebuild another house on my property and live in it so he can be close to me.  I am happy and content to continue to write and do projects around my home until the day I die.
