Brookings, OR January 5, 2016 - Cecilia Johnson is one of those people who chooses to live off the sampler platter of life, and according to her she resides a little outside of the box. Consequently, writing has proven to be the perfect avenue for her assiduously, energetic mind.
When Johnson launched the third novel, Name in Stone, in her nature-fantasy In Stone Series, she was excited to see it reach #1 bestseller status on Amazon.com.
Name in Stone features Lily, who’s not like you and me. Lily understands nature’s distinctive voice and has honed her instincts razor sharp in order to slice through the very fabric of the universe. Her past lives are intricately intertwined and form a deadly tapestry that is on the brink of unraveling. In a world full of limitations, Lily has absolutely no boundaries, though she is still altogether too human. When Earth offers her something it has never gifted another, Lily must decide: are some powers better left alone? In Lily’s final stand, readers learn whose memory will be etched forever, a ‘Name in Stone’.
“I loved the strength Lily possessed, as she had to endure so much to protect her loved ones. Be ready for a shocking twist at the end. All the pieces of the puzzle nicely fit together as author Cecilia Johnson will leave you with a sense of wonder yet a beautiful closure,” said Lorraine Carey, reviewer and author.
Johnson’s husband Mickey, a truck driver, was a huge supporter, as she tried one occupation after another. However, there came a time when Johnson realized that the normal nine to five wasn’t really working. Lucky for her, Mickey encouraged her to follow her desires. It was during her freelance graphic artist, animal portrait, and wildlife painting period that she began to write poetry. Then they moved.
Since leaving their family’s home state of Wisconsin the Johnson’s have made residences, for varying intervals, in Montana, Oregon, Alaska, back to the Oregon coast, Utah, and with a few summers returning to Alaska. Currently they dwell in Brookings, Oregon, and believe they are finally home. Along the way, Johnson found writing the perfect outlet to share misadventures and their constant exploration with family and friends.
Johnson said, “While traveling and moving around, writing became a passion. I love nature and when I hike it helps my creative process. My mind never rests. A lot of my ideas and some of the dream sequences in my novels, I’ve actually dreamt.” So, even though she may travel the outer reaches from time to time, Johnson’s focus has truly found a home. Johnson is well into her next novel, which she plans to release in 2016.
