About Me

E. I. Johnson: To date, I have published the first novel in my YA series: Wireless in the Fabric of Time. It was released in January 2007, and can be ordered through Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. Wireless: Life Doesn’t Rewind Across The Universe, the second book in the series, will be published sometime in 2010. While working on my novels, I started a series of blogs. First, “Totally YA” focuses on all things young adults; another, “Up Close & Personal,” is an ongoing conversation with authors and others from various genres; and the third, “A View From the Top,” attempts to offer insight into agents’ and publishers’ points of view. The response to the blogs has been exciting and encouraging. It seems my readers enjoy an open conversation with authors, agents and publishers of all ages, in which the blogger’s voice takes a back seat. The free expression that results has been enlightening to me as well, as it happens to have expanded my interests to fiction. Goodbye Bling-Bling, Hel---looo, Jailbird! will be my first attempt at non-fiction. Look for 2010 release date.
