THE TOTAL WRITER

                                                                         I'm Tricia Johnson, The Total Writer. I                                                                            started writing when I was a little girl                                                                            as a way to escape my dad's violent                                                                                alcoholism. I used to sit in a hollow                                                                                tree and write long, elaborate stories                                                                              about people far away. Reading was                                                                               also a great escape for me, so I                                                                                         literally grew up reading and writing.                                                                           I have seven siblings and we grew up                                                                             in southwest Ohio farming country.

 

                                                                          I am now the proud mom of eight                                                                                  wonderful people. I married a                                                                                           preacher and we've been married                                                                                  36 years and home schooled for 28.

 

I have been a regular contributing writer for Regular Baptist Press for more than 25 years, having been featured in their magazine, The Baptist Bulletin as well as Sunday School publications.

 

As a writing instructor, I have taught famed author Amanda Hocking, who, after taking my Community Ed writing class, found her fame through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
