SORMAG: Tell us about your current book?


JOHNSON: Brothers and Sisters, have you made a choice to love God more in your life? Love him more than, the pre-marital sex, more than the drugs, more than the lies or the adultery? This book takes you on a journey of choices that will reflect your sincere love for god. This love is shown in our everyday choices. So often-Christian singles don't get the unadulterated talks about abstaining from sex until marriage. Again Promiscuous Grace takes you on a single woman's season of decisions that show God's grace and love even in the dark hours of denial. This book will put you in the front seat of a woman's life only for you to evaluate your life choices. You can slip, fall and God will still love you and pull you back on the right road to recovery. You will also learn that God's grace is not to be taken advantage of or misused. You will see God's goodness propel you to be faithful to him. Are you ready to be honest with yourself? Let's begin the journey.

SORMAG: What would you like your readers to take away from your book?

JOHNSON:
To not get stuck in condemnation and that God is a forgiving God who loves us dearly. This book is not a license to sin but to show the compassion of God to come get you...right where you are and clean you up to be used for his glory.

SORMAG: What led you to the idea of writing this book, and then to the actual writing of it?

JOHNSON:
First, God said to write it for his children to know they are not alone. Secondly, it's not talked about in the church. Not about the real issues that saved single people go through.

SORMAG: Do you ever have a hard time letting go of a character after the novel is finished?

JOHNSON:
No, because my characters are mixed with some many people it's easy.

SORMAG: What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

JOHNSON:
Because mine are non-fiction mostly, it was healing and deliverance to me. A release of the old.

SORMAG: What one thing about writing do you wish other non-writers would understand?

JOHNSON:
It starts with a decision to do it and write.

SORMAG: What was the last book to keep you up at night reading it?

JOHNSON:
Holy Ghost Corner by Michele Brown!

SORMAG: What do you do to make time for yourself?

JOHNSON:
Massages, manicures, pedicures...anything that has to do with pampering.

4 June 2007



After the storm, my mind cleared.


And a high wind arose and blew the tropics north.







running quartz crystals through a blender.

sand through your engines.

bubbles in your bays.

estuaries reaching out toward forbidden seas...

sand through your eyes.













5 June 2007




Calm as baby's breath


as peaceful as the storm's eye


Clouds spread and drawn with rough strokes of stratospheric winds


a warm and windy tropical day.










7 June 2007


Black water at dusk.

Lighting on the horizon.


Warm winds coming in across the darkening waters.


A flash of white wings as an egret takes flight.


And Thunder like God clearing his throat.










8 June 2007




Morning star in the still of the clear, dark waters.


a sky as clear eyed as a young girl.


bruised and tattered storm remnants limp off in the gathering light.












9 June 2007



Tickled her fancy.


giggling all the day long.


pretty good for a Saturday.


Clouds on the lake floating aimlessly by.



She smiled big--grinned really.









12 JUne 2007


A silver sky

ripe for the mirror.

you can not see yourself in this mirror

you can only see others

moreover, you can only see what others choose to expose.

Their houses, their boats, their sea-doos.




Birds skimming low over the water could

like as not

see them selves if they were to look down

as they skim low over the water

but they never do.

Rather they allow their reflections to chase them

quick and sharp over the still, glistening waters

while the bird's mind remains ever fixed on

food, or other birds, or escaping those damn noisy humans.










A dense forest impenetrable as a gaze.

















13 JUne 2007



Like angry bee's eyes

the metal screen seen through the bamboo blinds.



A million insects dot the lake spreading micro ripples








14 June 2007



Of Fly Catchers and hidden lakes.


Of sleeping lizards and morning dew.

It is of birdsong and misty dawns

and fleeced clouds floating in a still pool.


The waters ripple awake in the gathering morn.





The first water birds head out for the far shore.
