John Osborne is a regular guy who writes regular novels about fairies. Of course, fairies aren’t regular, nor are they ordinary, as Willow Brown, the main subject of John’s first book, An Ordinary Fairy, is quick to point out. His second book, Willow Brown, American Fairy, continued the story of Willow’s life and romance with her human companion, Noah Phelps.

At age 12, my family moved to Danville and I lived in or near there until about six years ago, when my wife and I relocated to Urbana. She has a doula practice here and I work for the University, so it was a logical move to make. We live near Lincoln Square and just love it here. I can walk to work every day, which is when a lot of great writing ideas come to life and much dialogue is rehearsed.(less)

There's a reason this young woman looks concerned. She's just read the title of a Facebook post or Twitter feed item and she's worried that some catastrophic event just happened to the world.Notice I used the word "just"? That little word has been appearing a lot in headlines and news feeds since the last national elections almost a year ago.
