Stacy Johns grew up in small-town New England and transplanted to Oregon for more space. A long-time librarian and resident of the coast, she now makes her home in the Willamette Valley. Stacy is a graduate of the Kidd Creative Writing Workshops at UofO and an award-winning writer in the 2020 PNWA mystery category, as well as a Nancy Pearl finalist. She's a member of the Willamette Writers Association and the Pacific Northwest Writers Association, and she enjoys running and cooking healthy treats when not compulsively reading or writing.
