Hi there and welcome to my site!
I’m S.K. Johnston, and I live on a small island in the Pacific Northwest with my wife and our adorable dog, Mishka, where we’re surrounded by the beauty of towering mountains, serene lakes, and the nearby rugged coastline of the Pacific Ocean. I find endless inspiration for my writing in my love for the outdoors and my passion for travel enhances my stories. When I’m not working on my next book, you’ll likely find me soaking in the natural landscapes that fuel my creativity, or simply enjoying time with my wife and our furry friend. The characters in my books are a blend of real-life people I’ve encountered and the vivid landscapes I’ve explored. Thanks for stopping by and joining me on this adventure!
