About the author

Johnny Lee Wilson was born in and eventually attended high school (Ernest Righetti) in Santa Maria, California, after spending much of his early life in California's Central Valley. After attending California Baptist University (then, CBC) on a drama scholarship, he went on to earn two magisterial degrees and one doctoral degree before pastoring several churches and teaching as an adjunct professor.

When he lost his teaching position based on a bogus doctrinal dispute, he entered journalism full-time with Computer Gaming World magazine. Later, he became Group Publisher of Hasbro's/Wizards of the Coast's Amazing Stories, Dragon, Dungeon, Star Wars Gamer, Star Wars Insider and TopDeck magazines.

Later, he parlayed his computer journalism experience and his advanced degrees into teaching at Art Institute of Atlanta, Illinois Institute of Art of Chicago, and DePaul University's College of Computing and Digital Media. Parallel to his teaching career, Johnny served as interim pastor and part-time pastor of churches in Atlanta and the Chicago area.
