This week, Midnight Ink presents Fifteen Fun Facts about Linda O. Johnston, author of the Superstition mysteries. Her latest, Knock on Wood, was released earlier this month.
1. I'm a cynophilist.
2. I'm addicted to
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
3. I met my first
Cavalier on the London Underground on my first trip to London.
4. Unsurprisingly, my
favorite mysteries to write, and to read, contain pets, particularly dogs.
5. I wrote two cozy
mystery series starring dogs and other pets before I started the two series I
write for Midnight Ink: the Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter series, and its
spinoff Pet Rescue Mysteries. The two
series I write for Midnight Ink are the Superstition Mysteries and the Barkery
& Biscuits Mysteries.
6. I happily live in Los
Angeles but considered myself a displaced Pittsburgher for years.
7. My current Midnight
Ink release, KNOCK ON WOOD, is my forty-first published novel.
8. I also currently write
romance novels--paranormal romance for Harlequin Nocturne and romantic suspense
for Harlequin Romantic Suspense.
9. I'm a happy wife,
mother, grandma and dog mom.
1o. I'm a chocoholic. Dark chocolate? Yum!
11. J'ai
étudié le français pendant douze ans quand j'étais une jeune fille, mais I
don't really speak French now. (I almost
got that correct on my own, although I
did double check it.)
12. I used to really enjoy
writing and negotiating contracts when I
was a practicing real estate attorney and consider contracts another form of
fiction.
13. I love to do crossword
puzzles.
14. My first published
novels were time travel romances.
15. My first published fiction was a short story
in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and won the Robert L. Fish Award for best
first mystery short story of the year.
Knock on Wood is available online and in bookstores now!
