RE Johnston spent his first career writing software, making things, and travelling to out-of-the-way places. He always loved telling a good tale, so now he's off on a second career--writing speculative fiction for young adults. Along the way he has gathered up degrees in physics and management.
His debut novel, Two Moons: Memories from a World with One, was selected as a Readers' Favorite Five Star novel. It was featured in the August 15, 2018 issue of Kirkus Reviews (rare for an indie novel) and chosen for Hidden Gems' summer 2018 Best Young Adult Books We've Recently Reviewed.
He lives in Texas with his wife, Valerie. His daughter and son-in-law are out and about doing scientific stuff.
