Kristal Mahealani Johnson received her B.A. in English/Writing from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey. In 2002, she left corporate writing life behind to raise two precious boys, and pursue her lifelong dream of writing fiction. Three of her short stories have since been recognized.

Today, she and her husband live in New York with their sons, eight loud guitars, two thunderous drum kits, and two sweet cats in a hurry to hide. Her current book project is a modern-day ghost story set in the Hudson River Valley, and she's also working on a science-fiction novella.
