L. Falcon Johnson

I was born in a small town in southern Utah. I was raised by loving parents and am the oldest of five children. I grew up fishing, hunting, camping, hiking and otherwise just loving the outdoors. When I was nineteen, I left home to serve as a missionary for my church—The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints—and spent two years in Argentina, serving and preaching to the people there. (Argentine food is amazing, btw.)

After returning home, I pursued my collegiate studies at Brigham Young University and ultimately graduated with a B.A. in international relations. I sometimes joke that my major was perfect for my personal life, as while I was still in school I met my future wife, Priscilla, who is from Mexico. (International relations... get it?... Sorry.) She was also in school, studying English at the time, and I knew quickly she was the one. We wed and later had our beloved daughter, Jaqueline.

We have had many ups and downs together—triumphs and challenges—but have always maintained a firm sight on our ultimate goal of achieving a forever family. We believe wholeheartedly in the power of Jesus Christ to turn any familial relationship into an eternal one. Priscilla and I support each other and our daughter, and Christ supports us all. Together, there is nothing we cannot achieve.

My greatest inspirations for writing are C.S. Lewis, Orson Scott Card and J.R.R. Tolkien. My goal is to follow their examples by sharing my beliefs in an entertaining and thought-provoking way. I hope anyone who reads my writings will find their lives enriched for doing so.
