Barbara Bradley asked Tim Johnston:

I don't have a question. I just wanted to tell you how much I love "The Current." I just read it for the second the time (the 1st time was about 2 years ago). Thank you for writing such a beautiful novel! I'm not sure how to articulate this other to say that you characters are so real and you manage to convey heart wrenching events, and life experiences, with very clear, moving, and uncomplicated language. How?

Tim Johnston Thanks so much for reading, and for your very kind words, Barbara. As to your big little question, "How?"...all I can say for my own technique & process is that I try to give every moment & every encounter all the imaginative & observational attention I can muster...& then I revise like crazy.

Cheers & happy reading!

I don't want to ask a question, I want to tell you how absolutely AWESOME your book "Descent" was. It was the best book I've read so far this year. You have a wonderful way of writing that I have never read before, I loved it! I hope to see more of your books in the (near) future? Sincerely, A Fan

Ian Pisarcik asked Tim Johnston:

Read and greatly appreciated your novel Descent. I'm curious how you made the jump from short-story writer to adult-novel writer. Did you plot out your novel? Deconstruct similar novels? Was this your first crack at an adult-novel or are there others gathering dust in a drawer somewhere? Thanks for the work.

Terri Holland asked Tim Johnston:

A comment only, a thank you. At the end of Current you thanked me the reader and now I want to thank you. Thank you for language that made me present in some many rooms, cars and at the river's edge and the river itself. Thank you for writing women who are strong and survivors. ?
