About Kristen G. Johnson
Hello Everyone! Thanks for visiting!
I write Christian historical fiction set anywhere from the 1920's to the 1950's.

Likes: Cooking, mountains, hiking, fishing, and music of all kinds.

Dislikes: Mushrooms, ferrets (can't get into those wiggly things), clowns, and horror movies/books.

Weird Fact: It takes me a bit to figure out which is my right/left hand. Tip: If you ever ride in the car with me, just point in the direction you want me to go. It will save us all time, and me, a load of embarrassment.

Family Status: Married to my David for 5 years, waiting for foster children, and we have two cats: our one-eyed Jack, and cute little Susie Q.

I've been published in Characters Magazine, Keys for Kids, Secret Place, and the Salmon Creek Journal. I'm a member of the Oregon Christian Writers, American Christian Fiction Writers, and my wonderful critique group, the Redeemed Writers.

God Bless!!

Wrong way signs that are upside down-Oh the irony!   11/19/2009 - 11:32 AM
If you like irony, I saw something that was quite ironic the other day that made me giggle. It was a "wrong way" sign that was upside down. Kind of like this one. Hope you notice something in the world today that makes you giggle. Have a great day ... (login or sign up to read more)

I had a hard time deciding between the blueberry pancakes and the strawberry banana. Ultimately went with the latter. ;)

Hi Kristen, How are you doing?
Lisa Buffaloe on 10/30/09 - 5:35 PM
Thank you for rejoicing with us in our blessings. God is sooo good! We also received word that our apartments are being kind enough to lower our rent $200 a month! Woo hoo! I think we have the only furnished apartment and they had the rent high for corporate users. We are sooo grateful for the break.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Kristen, thanks for the invite
Christina Berry on 10/28/09 - 2:11 AM
I'm pretty sure it's because you need to obey your second momma. ;)

Hehe, Angel surely gave me a lesson on patience today!
Zenobia L Silas Carson on 10/26/09 - 9:40 PM
Thank you for your comment. Today has been my birthday...number sixty two! I spent part of the day taping at a coffee shop promoting my book and the rest of the day having lobster with one of my sons and watching a good movie!
Thanks again for the comment.
Many blessings!

Hi Kristen, blessings as you pursue your writing career. Monterey Memories is out now published by Barbour and DAD IN TRAINING was in stores in August. Now avialable on Amazon or Christianbooks.com Two more in the series follows in Feb & July 2010. Hope you look for them.
Tammy~John's Angel happily engaged!!! :) on 10/26/09 - 4:23 PM
Yes, my Nephews & Nieces are the best!
I have 2 of each :) They are my older Sister's kids.

It's raining here too.
It's refreshing & makes it cooler, I like it.
Gail Gaymer Martin on 10/26/09 - 4:12 PM
Hi Kristen since DAD In TRAINING is a catagory novel, it's only in the stores for a month and then makes way for the next months novels - so you might have to find it at Amazon or Christianbook.com. I have a direct link on my website at www.gailmartin.com

Thanks for your interest. It's a series and the next two books will be released in Feb & July 2010.
Tammy~John's Angel happily engaged!!! :) on 10/26/09 - 11:10 AM
Hey girl,

My Nephew had his birthday party on Saturday, so that was fun! He will be 4
the end of the month.
