Rick Johnson

Rick Johnson has been welcomed as one of the freshest voices in fantasy writing today. Kirkus Reviews wrote, “Johnson’s series departs from derivative fantasy novels…Johnson gets high marks for conceiving this unique world…A unique fantasy world worth visiting…” And the Midwest Review of Books said, "In a genre replete with formula writing, it's difficult to say that a new arrival feels truly original; but Silversion is all this and more, and will delight fantasy fans looking for something different - beasts and all." His fast-paced epic adventures are appropriate for readers as young as fourth grade but delight fantasy readers of all ages. As an author, he's drawn to eccentric, unexpected characters: those who surprise because they hear a distant galaxy, see a different music, create their own song or story rather than get hooked on a soundtrack; the child who has her or his own ideas about how the emperor is dressed; the lunatics and rebels who tell stories on the boundaries.
