Lindsey S. Johnson was raised to appreciate a dramatic flair paired with a sense of the ridiculous, which tends to show up in ways like getting a black eye via accidentally setting her sweater on fire when reaching for the wonton soup. She enjoys singing and dancing, and is always up for a good boogie. She started telling stories at an early age with her best friend, mostly to justify making elaborate forts for dolls. She currently lives in Seattle, WA, with her significant other and two cats named after sorceresses. Why have one black cat named after a villainous magic wielder, when you can have two? A Ragged Magic is her first published novel.
