Bret Johnson has observed people, places, and experiences from a global perspective; he is what we call a global citizen, having bits of his heart left ‘round the world. His first novel, HEAVENLAND, is a compilation of life experiences and places where bits are taken and bits are left. His careers in television, beverages, health/fitness and the CUBAMERA project have lead to a curated lifestyle balance worth sharing with others. He has been published in magazines, branded content, and online. Bret resides in his hometown of Los Angeles and claims his creative writing career started at an early age with this sentence: “I will not talk in class.”
