ⓘ About Tim Johnston

Tim Johnston is a bestselling American author that writes thrillers and short stories. The carpenter is best known for ‘Descent’ and ‘Irish Girl’. Eventually, his love for reading and writing was sparked and he never looked back. However, the fact that the author grew up in one of the most significant literary locations in the world did not inspire him to write, at least not consciously. Johnston attended the Universities of Iowa and Massachusetts Amherst. He also filled the role of George Washington University’s writer-in-residence. Johnston’s work has earned him the O. Henry prize, the Katherine Anne Porter Prize (Short Fiction) and the Gival Press Short Story Award.
