About the Author

Corey L. Johnson

Corey L. Johnson's love for storytelling began in Ripley, Tennessee, near the childhood home of literary legend Alex Haley. After years in the corporate world, Corey returned to his passion for writing. Today, he crafts emotionally resonant stories about life, love, faith, and the decisions that define us, all while living in Murfreesboro, Tennessee with his family.

Corey aims to create books that move readers and spark reflection, reminding us that even in everyday challenges there is meaning and hope.

"Stories should move you — and remind you that even in everyday challenges, there is meaning and hope."

His debut novel The Grass Is Always Greener explored the tensions of family, faith, and second chances in the American South. Since then, Corey has written across genres — from YA thriller to psychological suspense to romance — always anchored by the emotional truth at the center of every story.

Whether writing about a teenager who refuses to stop searching for missing friends, a community fighting to keep their homes, or two strangers whose worlds collide in the most unlikely way, Corey's stories carry the same conviction: that people — and the choices they make — matter deeply.
