J.M. Johnson

J.M. Johnson is a UK based author, often writing books set in her home of Yorkshire.

She writes dark romance that are very, very spicy, with morally grey men, and strong female leads. With a profound love of sarcasm (that's the British in her!) her books are always filled with it, as well as sprinkling humorous banter throughout.

All of the books come with trigger warnings like a shopping list, but are also plot heavy.

When she's not writing, she's either practicing her special effects makeup, or spending time with her three children, her fiance and her two dogs.

She is a Diet Coke addict, a Swiftie, and a persistent bother-er of her parents who live just 10 minutes down the road from where A. E. resides with her boyfriend.

Step into worlds of forbidden passion and intrigue, meet strong protagonists and sexy love interests, and join them as they explore their desires.

When Fire is not hovering over her keyboard, she loves to read (from dystopian thrillers to murder mysteries, and of course anything love), cuddle up on her couch with her two pugs to watch the latest romcom or drama, or take long walks along a beach where it rains often, the fields are bright green, and sheep romp about in the countryside.
