Career

[edit]

Johnson was born in Nahant, Massachusetts, where she spent her childhood.[3] In December 2013, Johnson obtained a BA honors from University of Delaware with degrees in Mass Communications and Psychology from the College of Arts and Sciences. In 2013, Julie published her first novel Like Gravity. After the publication of her first novel, Johnson graduated with honors from University of Delaware.[4]

Johnson is the author of over 20 novels.[5] Her books have been published in at least ten foreign territories, including Germany, where her book "DIAMOND EMPIRE" charted on the Der Spiegel bestseller list.

On January 23, 2024, an announcement in the literary trade publication Publisher's Marketplace revealed Johnson's new romantic fantasy trilogy had been acquired in a three-book deal by fifteen different publishers worldwide, many at auction. [6] Publishers include Penguin Random House in the United States [7] at the Berkley Ace Books imprint, and Penguin Books in the United Kingdom at imprint Michael Joseph. International publishers include: Ullstein (Germany), Galera (Brazil), Harper Italia (Italy), Hugo (France), Anaya (Spain), Alexandra (Hungary), Penguin Random House Portugal (Portugal), Zysk (Poland), Ahavot (Israel), Motyl (Slovakia), TREI (Romania), and Albatros (Czech Republic).

Paste Magazine exclusively revealed the official cover art for book one in the trilogy, THE WIND WEAVER, on July 9, 2024, along with an interview with Johnson about her inspiration for the new series. [8] In the Q&A, Johnson cited Welsh mythology along with the song 'Rhiannon' by American musician Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac as the initial inspiration for her characters. [9]
