About this author

Melinda Johnson began life in a small town in upstate New York. Her literary imagination evolved from this point through an introspective childhood, a master's in English literature, and a confirmed habit of observing her fellow human beings. Her first novel, Letters to Saint Lydia, was released at the end of 2010. She currently works as the blog chief for Orthodox Christian Network and is a contributing writer for Pemptousia.com's English-language website.


Just wanted to give an update…my children's book Josiah and Julia Go to Church, written by Kelly Ramke Lardin and illustrated by me, is available for pre-order on the Conciliar Press website and the book itself should be out within the next couple of weeks. I eagerly await getting my hands on a couple of copies and sharing the book. Thank you for all the kind words, support, and encouragement!...

I enjoyed the inside look at ex-pat life in Beijing. The characterization was pretty good, and the number of near misses before the final resolution was a testament to some serious plotting skills.
