William E. Johnson, with a commission in Naval Aviation, was stationed briefly in Boston, MA, where he became enchanted with the rich colonial history of the region. More recently, he had the role of John Hancock in a community theater production of "1776". This prompted him to write his first novel "Snug Harbor Tavern: Shaggin' for a Shillin'". It was followed with, "The Seeds of Love...and War: Still Shaggin' for a Shillin'" and "Tea and Tyranny: Still Shaggin' in Boston", which was published in 2014. Two additional novels are planned for the Snug Harbor Tavern saga. Mr. Johnson is a safety consultant and public speaker, often in the personna of John Hancock. He resides in Latrobe, PA and can be found at www.history1776.com
