My name is Steve Johnson and I live in Watford with my son and Purdy, our rescue dog. ( I think we rescued each other). The Hidden Road Home is my debut novel, set in the Second World War, with all the drama and twists and turns of that fascinating era. Covid was obviously an awful time for many people but for me, it gave me the chance to put my business on hold and start writing the story that I conceived in lockdown. To my amazement a whole little world inhabited by living, breathing characters grew organically and here we are. My wife, who was more certain I could do it than I was, sadly passed away suddenly in May 2023 so the book is dedicated to her memory.
