About the author
Jay Johnson
257 books2 followersJay Johnson most recent work is a novella, The Soul's Tariff, about the painter Tintoretto and 16th century Venice on the cusp of war with the Ottoman empire to the east.
His novel Gold Diggers, a slipstream urban fantasy set in Las Vegas, follows dwarves and elves living at the fringes of society. It was reviewed favorably by Kirkus Reviews: "...maintain(s) a persistent sense of mystery. Johnson grounds his story by showing the peculiar beings from the perspectives of the humans..." "Johnson, not one to let his narrative lull, boosts his story with riveting subplots involving a conspiracy, a betrayal and a disappearing corpse." "... its creativeness and exuberance are unquestionable."
His first novel History of the Unnameables, based on a novella originally published by Duct Tape Press in the late '90s under the title King of Siam, was one of the first works of fiction to address fears of cyberterrorism. He began the story after talking to a number of friends working in blackworks, mainly conflicted science and math academics, who were aware of the problem but were not being listened to.
Invisible City was orphaned by a major publisher but has found new life in ebooks formats. It adds the murky world of bioethics and the porous nature of the new digital reality to the world of spying.
As a filmmaker (under his given name Jay Wright) he was included at the Mexican National Museum of Art's (MUNAL) Biennial of Poetry and Video in 2002. His work has appeared at Cannes, and at other film festivals where the films have won numerous awards. His films and videos have also played internationally at galleries and exhibitions. He has also been nominated for a Guggenheim.

Know It Alls - Dinosaurs, is a really interesting book that I used to love reading when I was young. Although it is a non-fiction book it does not feel like it. It tells young readers all about different dinosaurs while reading more like a story or someone talking rather than just a list of facts about dinosaurs. There are so many different dinosaurs that are mentioned in the book including a lot that I had never heard of or seen before. The book is so entertaining and has a really unique style. The book is shaped like the head of a dinosaur and has some texture on the front so it allows students to get more of a feel of what a dinosaur might have felt like and just adds to the experience. This book taught me so much about dinosaurs without just hitting me with a ton of facts that I will not remember. It is fun and a cool way to introduce dinosaurs and keep the reader engaged.
