Briana Johnson

My earliest memories involve telling made-up stories to an audience of stuffed animals. After my brother was born, I had a new captive audience. My family encouraged me to begin writing these bedtime stories down, and the writing bug bit.

Growing up in a military family (dad was in the Army), I had the opportunity to travel to many different states and even several European countries. Austria, Poland, France, and Italy were all places I visited while living in Germany, and by the time I was 14, I’d lived in 4 different US states as well. I’ll always be a Texas girl at heart though.

I currently live in Warrenton, GA with my family, a spoiled rotten cocker spaniel (Hershey Kisses), and a squeaky toy obsessed Yorkie (Buttons). My hobbies include cooking, sewing, papercrafting as well as various other crafting styles, reading, writing, and raising puppies alongside my family. To say I’m a ‘dog-lover’ would be putting it mildly. Growing up, dogs have always been a special part of my family, and I love to see the joy our puppies bring into the lives of their new families as well.

I enjoy writing for children. Through my stories, I desire to point kids to Christ and teach them important values to help them as they grow. I attend Grace Baptist Church and am a born again Christian (saved on March 11, 2015).

Wait for the Turtle is my first book to be released. It’s been a dream come true, and I am excited to see what the rest of this journey leads to.
