My husband would say that I was never the writer in the cliché scenes with the ashtray full of cigarettes and the cursor flashing on the first sentence.

I've never minded the solitude, I actually love it, but now with Debris out, I think the best thing is having your work read and enjoyed. There's nothing like that.(less)

L.M. Brown L.M. Brown said: " I couldn't finish Everything Under. Johnson writes well, but I found it hard to follow, the movement back and time, the place, the characters, all of these were vague and disjointed. I liked the fairy tale atmosphere, but after a while it wasn't enou ...more "
