Johnny E. Nix

While in high school Johnny E. Nix had an idea for a story about an esteemed family of vampires as seen from the vampires’ perspective. He did not have time to write the thriller then, but after retirement sixty years later he finally had an opportunity to write Yearning for the Light: Curse of the Vampire. He tells the story of the birth of the vampire existence and traces the history until modern times. The fascinating story that the author imagined in his youth is an innovative and refreshing approach to the genre. 

Johnny’s second novel Once There Were Angels is about a university student’s triumphant journey for self-discovery as she struggles with her family’s conservative Christian beliefs, with emotional abuse from her mother, and with the trauma of her younger sister’s disappearance.

In the author’s third novel Leah’s Wolf, the CDC is called to Alaska to investigate inexplicable, deadly wolf attacks and a resulting mysterious, new virus—if they can survive whoever or whatever is determined to sabotage the investigation!

While in college, as a young minister having a desire to help the community, Johnny and his future wife reached out to provide enriching experiences for children living in an economically and socially deprived community. After receiving his undergraduate and master’s degrees, he taught multi-handicapped children at the Helen Keller School. Following a few years of teaching high school, Johnny embraced the opportunity to teach and manage an adult education program at a vocational rehabilitation center. In addition to managing that program, Johnny was an adjunct evening instructor at the local community college where he taught ethics, sociology, and psychology.

When Johnny and his wife received a Caribbean cruise from their three children as a 30th wedding anniversary gift, they fell in love with international travel, and they have now traveled to all 7 continents and 62 countries. Johnny and his wife Pat and their therapy dog Sophie enjoy living in coastal Georgia, not far from their three children and their families.
