William W. Johnstone was born in Southern Missouri. He is the youngest of four children born to a minister father and school teacher mother.

Johnstone has been a deputy sheriff, soldier, and radio broadcaster. He began writing in 1970 but wasn’t until “Devil’s Kiss” was published in 1979 that he became a full-time writer. Since then, he has written over 200 books. He writes in a range of genres including action, horror, science fiction, suspense and western. He is loved by his fans for his diversity and best-known for his western adventures.
