You have discovered the website of speculative fiction writer Alaya Dawn Johnson. Pull down the tab and you can find a (mostly) complete bibliography, links to some (good) reviews and a brief bio. This is not a real blog (for that, follow the links at the top, or just jump straight there). However, I will list forthcoming appearances and other major news in some big friendly format on this site.

For now, here’s some things you might want to know about me:

My first novel is called Racing the Dark. It’s the first of a trilogy, which is called The Spirit Binders. You can read the first three chapters (which is, in fact, a significant chunk of the manuscript) online here. You can buy a physical copy from Amazon. You can buy an ebook from my helpful publisher’s website.

The second book in this trilogy, The Burning City, is coming out in March 2010. This website is the place to check if you want more news when I get it (like images of the nifty new covers!)

I have a 1920s vampire novel, Moonshine forthcoming from Thomas Dunne in early 2010. Again, stay tuned for cover, excerpts, possible galley giveaways and other fun stuff.

I’ve also written a choose your own adventure-style story, The Goblin King, for Graphic Universe’s Twisted Journeys line. It’s fun and eminently suitable for children ages 9-11.

So look around, and please email me if you want to know anything else: alaya [a t] alayadawnjohnson [d o t] com.
