And when Kiro's kisses leave her breathless, Kitsuneko finds herself -- and the kingdom -- in mortal danger.For the peace that Toulacoeur enjoys, maintained through the blessing of Kleon, the Unicorn Guardian, is at risk, and to maintain their rule, the king and queen have arranged for Kiro to marry Ariella, a Warlord's daughter from a tribe of Gryphon Riders.Can Kitsuneko and Kiro find a way to be together and keep the kingdom's peace? Or is their love destined to only lead to destruction?Kitsuneko is A Companion Novella to The Realms Beyond the Rainbow, a fantasy romance adventure with changelings, rainbow portals, and the US Space Force from award-winning, genre-hopping author C. S. Johnson.FROM THE BOOK: I look in the mirror carefully, scrutinizing the smallest details of the face before me. It is the face of a beautiful young woman, serene and striking all at once. I study the rosy cheeks, still youthfully plump while they start to hint at adulthood, while golden hair falls to either side, sweeping long past the pointed chin. My focus fastens onto the nose in wonderment, mesmerized by the size of the little bump that turns up at its end. I press down on it with my finger, and it shrinks, ever so slightly, in size.Finally, my gaze travels to see the two large, slanted eyes staring back at me; the misty green twinkles, simultaneously bewildered and cautious.The eyes are mine, even if the rest of the face is not.Of all the different kinds of changelings, the kitsunefolk are the only ones whose eyes refuse to change. I doubt this is anything but by design; my kinfolk are known for their inner stubbornness as much as they are known for their outward flexibility. Add in the catblood, and that’s me.I am a changeling from the Honeyspice Lands, a kitsune-neko, and that’s all. That is my only role to play in the grand kingdom of Toulacoeur, and so much so, that’s what they named me.I am Kitsuneko, slave of King Dario and his wife, Queen Arianna, their full-time substitute for their daughter, Princess Cari.I smile into the mirror, and the face of Princess Cari smiles back at me.“Perfect,” I whisper. “You look just like her.”Or at least, I look like what most people think Princess Cari would look like, if she hadn’t been kidnapped seventeen years ago. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "I absolutely love this "tail" of love and tragedy and hope!" ~ Malissa, Audiobook Reviewer"This is fantasy old school, one adults and kids will enjoy." ~ William, Goodreads Reviewer
  • Field Notes from the Grand Canyon: Raging River, Quiet Mind : An Illustrated Journal

    Teresa Jordan

    Paperback (Johnson Books, April 1, 2000)
    On a writing assignment, award-winning author Teresa Jordan spent twelve days traveling down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. As has happened to so many who have visited the Grand Canyon, this intensely verbal woman found herself speechless; she was filled with awe the whole time. She had brought along a small box of watercolors and stole away from her group each day to paint an illustrated record of her experiences. The results are these field notes from a re-enchantment with the world. She believes the sketchbook was the river's gift to her; in turn she offers the sketchbook to help us find the river for ourselves. About the experience she later wrote, "I expected the canyon to astonish me. It exceeded my wildest imaginings by at least a power of ten . . . On the river I found myself drunk with visual excitement, engaged in a gluttony of looking . . . Often I would try to recall something I had seen on the river. Other times I would focus on something directly in front of me: a family of barrel cacti in the late afternoon sun, a single cube of zoroaster granite . . .trying to isolate, to understand, the purity of that particular gold of morning light on the ridge, or the muddy claret of the redwall limestone." The first in a series of Sketchbook Expeditions, Field Notes from the Grand Canyon is the perfect giftfor yourself, or anyone you care about. The paintings are lovely, capturing the canyon's unmistakable luminosity, and the book is produced on special paper with the look and feel of a watercolor sketchbook. This stunning little gem will be a cherished souvenir for anyone who's been down the Colorado River, and an enticement for anyone who has yet to make this life-altering journey.

  • The Adventures Of Puff The Gobblewobbler

    Paul Johnson, Emily Johnson

    language (Paul Johnson, Nov. 26, 2014)
    "Puff was very strange indeed, and had been like this for as long as he could remember. Nobody ever visited Puff, but this didn’t seem to bother him too much. In fact, Puff’s castle was the perfect place for him to work on his secret experiments. Puff had made a number of amazing discoveries over the time he had lived alone. Some of his favourites included a liquid that could cure any known Gobblewobbler disease, a spicy sauce that allowed you to breathe fire for a short period of time and a cream that made you smell like a Snarlsdragon Dung Beetle’s armpit." Be warned, as this book contains Jumping Swaddlesnake brains, a man with a very funny name, the ugliest beast you will ever see, a very loud annoyance-scream, a very complicated family and, of course, a Hairy-Backed Squillem's left nostril. The Adventures Of Puff The Gobblewobbler is an updated version of a story Paul Johnson wrote during his senior school years. Paul hopes you and your family will laugh yourself silly while reading this book.
