About the Author
Scott A. Johnson was born and raised in a swampland coastal town in Texas that was rife with folklore and ghost stories that greatly influenced him as a child. While most children were content to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings, Scott watched "Chiller Theater" with his brother, reveling in the performances of Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi and Borris Karloff. In junior high school, he discovered a deep love for the written word when he was introduced to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado." He excelled in his English classes all through High School, though he did not begin writing fiction until he reached college. Scott attended Texas State University-San Marcos (then Southwest Texas State University) and received his BA in Mass Communication-Advertising. He decided he loved the school and took a full-time position, working as a Media Technician for the Department of English. It was at this time that he was exposed to many great authors, both faculty and visiting. During a class on short-story fiction, he began to put his childhood memories and imagination to good use, bringing praise from his instructors and fellow students alike.
