Hiya! I’m Johnny.

I’m a kid-lit writer living in Silver Spring, Maryland with an eye-level understanding of my young audience. During the day, I teach third graders how to read and write at Sandy Spring Friends School. At night, I dream up stories with my students in mind. Every one of them is a firehose of sweetness, humor, and unlaced insight. I dedicate my writing to them!
