About me
Johnny Worthen grew up in the high desert snows and warm summer winds of the Wasatch Mountains. He graduated with a B.A. in English, minor in Classics and a Master's in American Studies from the University of Utah. After a series of businesses and adventures, including years abroad and running his own bakery, Johnny found himself drawn to the only thing he ever wanted to do -- write. And write he does. Well versed in modern literary criticism and cultural studies, Johnny writes upmarket multi-genre fiction, both traditionally and independently published. “I write what I like to read,” he says. “That guarantees me at least one fan.” Johnny is a Utah Writer of the Year and finalist of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Writer of the Year. Johnny’s best-selling series, The Books of Coronam, is an epic science fiction series in the vein of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Johnny apocalyptic myth The Gaia Chime, witnesses the global chaos of a planet in repair. His next major release, Fresh Start, a science fiction adventure with cold political undertones lands in 2026 also from Flame Tree Press. Like Johnny’s many other titles, these are available wherever better books are sold.
