    Author

    Rhonda Denise Johnson

    The writer who paints pictures with words. An idea percolates in my head telling me a story is there, and I must write it. I imagine you, the reader, smiling, laughing, hollering at my characters, or remembering something in your life, and I get a good feeling. It's like when you know what your purpose is in life, and it's something that affects people in a good way.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
