RE Johnston writes speculative fiction for teens and young-minded adults, blowing their minds open to experience what their lives would be like "if only."
In his debut novel, Two Moons, RE introduced us to a planet (much like ours) populated with people (much like us) who have detailed memories of their past lives on Earth (where they were us.) Now he’s expanding Two Moons’ world into a series, Echoes of Past Lives. The second book, League of Secrets, will be released in early 2021. He is irrationally optimistic that young adult reincarnation fiction will become the next big thing.
RE has degrees in physics and management. He spent a very long time developing systems and bossing people around, but he’s finally settled down to invent new worlds. He lives with his wife, Valerie, in Fort Worth, Texas: “Where the West Begins.”
“He wasn’t even sure what Texas was, but he sure liked the toast.”
“I guess it makes sense you were something with a really big mouth.”
Vlad said, “That would be stupid. I’m sure my government would never cut people off from talking with each other.”
Jay agreed, “Yeah, mine either.”
Later that day both boys were proven wrong.
“The greatest power on Duorth lies in our shared knowledge, both our recollections of Earthly genius, as well as what we learn in this life.”
“…the weaknesses…didn’t lie in knowledge but rather in our inability to grasp the fundamental truths that seem always just beyond our reach.”
