Marc W. Johnson received his love of reading, movies, and all things horror and science fiction from his single mother, an avid reader and fan of both genres. Marc began writing early in high school, but life intervened and he had to break away from it for many, many years. Marc reconnected with his desire after his mother died when he found she had kept many of his short stories in a box in the garage, although they were stained and torn the writing bug had bitten him once again. Marc's love for horror and movies prompted him into screenplay writing, and over the next few years became good enough to enter a short screenplay contest: won it and sold it. This validation spurred him on to attempt a bigger challenge, a full feature screenplay. While writing the screenplay, and working on another, Marc continued writing short stories and poetry which led to his first publication "A Collection of Dark Short Stories and Poetry." Marc published his second book “LEGACY,” He continues to pluck out the horrors in his mind and bring them to the page.
