Eric Garner Johnson

Eric Garner Johnson writes stories about broken people who stand up anyway. A lifelong fan of the strange edges where genres collide, he blends Western grit, dark fantasy, and a touch of horror into worlds that feel lived-in, scarred, and unflinchingly human.

His third novel, SpellSlinger, launches readers into a frontier where bullets and magic burn with equal fury—and where courage costs more than gold.

When he isn’t writing or wrangling research for the next book in The SpellSlinger Chronicles, Eric builds immersive story worlds under the banner of Copper Veil Publishing LLC, a small independent studio dedicated to bold speculative fiction with heart, teeth, and soul.

He lives by the belief that heroes don’t always wear capes—sometimes, they just keep walking toward the fight.
