Harald Johnson is an author of both fiction and nonfiction, a publisher, and a lifelong swimmer—who actually swam nonstop around New York’s Manhattan island. His debut novel (NEW YORK 1609, 2018) was the first-ever to explore the birth of New York City (and Manhattan) from its earliest beginnings. He followed that with the three books of the NEANDER time-travel trilogy (2019, 2020, 2021), and then the modern suspense thriller EL NORTE (2022). THE TWILIGHTS is his sixth novel (and twelfth book).

Harald lives with his wife deep in the woods of central Virginia.

That includes concept, outlining, drafting, dev editing, beta reading, cover design, formatting, and finally publishing on Amazon (ebook and paperback).

THE TWILIGHTS published!

I’m pleased to announce the publication of my new novel THE TWILIGHTS on Amazon worldwide.

It’s 80 years after an asteroid has completely changed the planet, and a small and determined group struggles for survival in North America. It’s dystopia, it’s post-apocalyptic, it’s action-packed. But it’s not a bummer. There are people, animals, and ideas to root for.

On this day after the summer solstice Read more of this blog post »
