    Peter Johnson

    Peter Johnson grew up in Buffalo, New York, at a time when they had a good football team, which seems like fifty years ago. Similar to Benny Alvarez and his friends, Peter always loved words, knowing he was going to be a teacher or a professional baseball player. Also, being from a long line of Irish storytellers, he loved reading and telling tales, and when he realized that his stories changed every time he told them, and that he could get paid for this kind of lying, he decided to become a novelist. His first middle grade novel, The Amazing Adventures of John Smith, Jr. AKA Houdini, was named one of the Best Children's Books by Kirkus Reviews, and he's received many writing fellowships, most notably from the National Endowment for the Arts.

      “So, who’s on your list?” Nick looks eagerly at me. I take a sip of my coffee. “What list?” “You know. The list.” He shovels a handful of popcorn into his mouth. “She’s on mine.” He nods toward the TV. “Keira Knightly?” I ask. “Yeah.” “I still have n

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      This is a work of fiction. All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed here are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.

      I expected just one – Ms. Jones was the name they gave me.  Not Ms. Jones and friends.  Only Ms. Jones.  It was a bit surprising, then, when the door to the suite opened and seven women were staring back at me.  Seven drunk women.  Six in party hats, the seventh in a sash, dragging around a plastic ball and chain.

      The bride at her bachelorette party.

      Well I say, one swooned, fanning herself, once she looked me over.  Bestill my heart.

      "Oh my god, he is pretty, isn’t? said another.  Where on earth did you find him?"

      He was recommended, came the simple answer.

      By who?

      "Never mind who."
