Author of Hidden History of the Minnesota River Valley, Twin Cities Prohibition: Minnesota Blind Pigs and Bootleggers, and Minneapolis Underworld. Johanneck's books include gritty historical details. Her book, Twin Cities Prohibition was selected as one of the three top food books of 2011 by Minnesota Monthly magazine's food editor, Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl, in the category of history. Johanneck's father was a Minnesota farmer, and her mother was a teacher. She was raised with seven brothers and one sister on a farm near Wabasso, in southwestern Minnesota, and as a child, was inspired by her mother's creativity and her father's gift for storytelling. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in business from Southwest State University in Marshall, Minnesota, and worked for a tourism office within the central part of the Minnesota River Valley before moving to the Twin Cities. She published a blog called Minnesota Country Mouse before dedicating her free time to writing books about local history but has a work of fiction simmering on the back burner.
