Chris Johnson writes high-stakes thrillers with a sci-fi and supernatural edge—think ancient secrets, time travel, and rogue agencies chasing ghosts.

When he’s not writing, Chris performs as a mentalist at private and corporate events, bending minds with psychology and sleight of hand. He lives in Brisbane, Australia, with his family, and still reads The Phantom when no one’s looking.

“Life’s an adventure. So are my books.”

One word at a time. (I had writer's block answering this question)

Seriously, just write. Sometimes writing a story can actually bring out twists and turns that you don't expect. The characters may dictate how something happens or something else in that universe happens out of their control as well. That is when the story takes a whole different track (similar to how "One Man's Wife" changed on me while I wrote it).

"No More Goodbyes" was another one that took a different twist. I was thinking of making it a phantom hitch-hiker story but it became something else altogether.

Just do it (writing). If you type one sentence about how you feel, you have come close to breaking it than someone who looks at a blank page or screen and wallows in it.(less)

**Author Interview: Time Travel, Writing, and ChronoSpace**



I was recently interviewed by AwesomeGang about my writing, time travel, and the *ChronoSpace* series.

We covered:

* how Tony Nowlan’s story began
* why time travel isn’t as simple as changing the past
* my slightly strange writing habits (yes, music on repeat)
* what actually works when it comes to promoting books

If you enjoy time-travel stories with paradoxes and real consequences, you might find it Read more of this blog post »

I loved the book.

Loved the trip back to Atlantis, even if it was its final moments, and how the antagonist actually has a motive behind his insanity.

My only complaint... it was too short. But that's okay, it keeps me reading the next one.

Chris Johnson liked an answer from Dean Koontz:
Dean Koontz
You better love writing for the sake of writing, for the thrill of making a story work, for the pleasure of making the language sing. It’s a hard business, harder every year, and you might never find success, but if you get profound pleasure from the See Dean’s answer.
