Kathryn M. Johnson

Next to writing her own books, Kathryn Johnson most enjoys working with new writers. She teaches fiction writing at the renowned Writers' Center in Washington, D.C., and also coaches individual authors through her professional mentoring service.

Although she has written under a number of pen names (Kathryn Jensen, Nicole Davidson, K.M. Kimball, and Mary Hart Perry), publishing over 40 novels, her current love is cozy mysteries. Her new series, The Haunted Farmhouse Mysteries by Kathryn Johnson, featuring Verity Cade, launches in November 2025. The first title is The Death of a Maven.

Kathryn enjoys travel, sailing, trying to outwit her frisky cats, and baking for her family and friends.
