Melody Johnson

Melody Johnson is the award-winning author of the Love Beyond series and Night Blood series published by Kensington Publishing/ Lyrical Press. From an early age, she began writing romances about sassy, dragon-slaying heroines and swoon-worthy heroes—and she’ll never stop hunting those happily ever afters.

Earning the 2021 Maggie Award of Excellence, Beyond the Next Star (Love Beyond, book 1) is an exciting branch from Melody’s paranormal romance roots, keeping the dark grit from her Night Blood Series and launching it to new worlds. Sherrilyn Kenyon, New York Times and international bestselling author of the Dark-Hunters® series, praised Sight Beyond the Sun (Love Beyond, book 2) as, “Unforgettable; this book stays with you long after you leave it.”

A longstanding member of First Coast Romance Writers (FCRW), Melody is a contributing author to several FCRW fundraising anthologies, the proceeds of which benefit the non-profit’s mission to provide educational workshops for its members. Her Witchy Business short story rom-coms featured in those anthologies showcase small town magic brewing with big girl problems. In her free time, Melody is a voracious reader and particularly enjoys the same tropes she loves writing: enemies-to-lovers, slow burns, and high spice.
