Jim Johnson was born about the same time Apollo XII landed on the moon (and has always been kinda spacy) and shares a birthday with the Kindle. He is the author of the Pistols and Pyramids weird western series and the Potomac Shadows urban fantasy series. He's also written a bunch of other stuff in and around the SFF genres and pen and paper RPGs. He's currently the project manager and line editor for Modiphius's Star Trek Adventures RPG and project manager for the Fallout RPG.

In rare moments when he's not writing or publishing, Jim plays board games and card games, and makes a brilliant bowl of popcorn. You can learn more about him and his writing at www.SCRIBEINETI.com.
