Hilarey Johnson grew up hearing that she would be a fine student if she could get her head out of the clouds. Her daydreaming still makes it possible to get lost driving anywhere. She loves characters with a hidden or unknown worth who rise to claim their identity. She writes redemptive stories from Idaho and travels in the Pacific Northwest with her husband. Someday Hilarey hopes to time travel.

She is the author of Breaking Bonds, and Dance of the Crane fiction series. She has written for Guideposts, Idaho Network of Child Advocacy Centers, Brio Magazine, Safe Place Ministries, Christian Living Magazine, the Times-News, North Lake Tahoe Bonanza and others.
