Where Fiction and Reality Meet
TNA: Hi, Johanna, thanks so much for being here with us today. Why don’t we start out by having you tell us a little bit about yourself? Hobbies, interests, odds and ends things that make you, you.

Why did I choose The Decisions We Make? “Decisions” is one of my first written stories, and certainly one of the first from my own publisher Love Lane Books. I love the story so much. Daniel is the young orphan who is taken in by a beautiful family. When I look back at this book... Continue Reading →

Several years ago, when one of my older sisters was still a freshman in college studying art, she decided - for what heinous reason it was, I can't remember - to draw a pretty eerie image which she'd titled "Madonna and Child". It was an illustration of a woman in black carrying a baby, and... Continue Reading →

Writing werewolves in the real world. When Lisa at The Novel Approach offered me a chance to give one of my older books a bump, I wasn't sure which one to choose.

One book that I hold near and dear to my heart is Orientation. If my books were my children, Orientation would be the quiet one, the one people would kindly describe as ‘different.’ Orientation, although it won the EPIC eBook Award for Best GLBT novel, is probably one of my least popular books, because it’s...

A long time ago—okay, really not that long ago—a couple of years at the most, I wrote a book. Slapped a title on it—Dirty Kiss—and sent it off to Dreamspinner Press in the hopes of someone there maybe liking it. And they did. And they bought it. And I squeed. No, really. I squeed because...

TNA: Why did you choose Widdershins for the name of your fictional city? JLH: I spent weeks wracking my brain trying to come up with something interesting and/or vaguely creepy without result, so in the first couple of chapters I wrote it was [town name], which got really tiresome after a while. Then one day... Continue Reading →
