Carol Johnson

Following an A.A. from Tulsa Junior College (now Tulsa Community College) and a B.A. from Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, OK, Carol Johnson received her M.A. in Language and Literature from The University of Tulsa. Most recently, she graduated with an M.F.A in Creative Writing, Fiction, from Oklahoma City University.

In 1993 her book Autism: From Tragedy to Triumph, co-authored with Julia Crowder, was published, followed by a novel, Everlasting, in 2006. Her novel was a finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award. Her work has appeared in Clackamas Literary Review; Red Earth Review; Foliate Oak, a publication of the University of Arkansas at Monticello; and This Land. A work of short fiction is forthcoming in The Red Truck Review.

She makes her home in a rambling, hundred-year-old house on a hill northwest of downtown Tulsa. She is kept company by assorted cats, bats, writers, and a husband, more or less in that order. When not terrifying her blog-followers with tales of serial killers and the disastrophes of her own life, she obsesses over local earthquakes and teaches writing full-time at Tulsa Community College.
