Ask Auntie MJ: I think I lost my stories

January 18, 2019 by Maureen 6 Comments

I’m writing today to ask for some advice. I love reading and writing. My BA is in Creative Writing. I was published in my university’s literature magazine. I used to read and write so much. But in the last year, it’s gone away. I read Fingersmith by Sarah Waters in December 2017. Since then, I’ve started […]

A Fancy New Beginning

March 13, 2018 by Maureen 11 Comments

  • I am SO EXCITED to announce the new stand alone Stevie Bell mystery. NINE LIARS is coming on December 27th.⁣ ⁣ Senior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn’t going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to distract her from the questions pinging around her brain—questions about college, love, and life in general.⁣ ⁣ Relief comes when David invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and his new friend Izzy introduces her
  • Look. My name is #maureenjohnson. I hashtagged it because there is another Maureen Johnson. Like me, she lives in the East Village of NYC. Like me, she knows that Pookie, @albinokid1026. And sometimes we both end up at the Life Cafe. In my case, with my dog who needed a drink of water. Unlike her, I pay the #rent. I cannot escape my fate. I am Maureen Johnson. Moo with me or something. I was still here first. #rent #rentmusical #moowithme #broadway #pookie #rentheads #renthead #nodayliketoday #musicals #anthonyrapp #musicaltheatre #musicallovers
  • I am THRILLED to announce that I will be in conversation with my friend @elockhartbooks on May 4th to celebrate the release of FAMILY OF LIARS! This is virtual a @waterstones event based in the UK, so that is 7:30 UK time.⁣ ⁣ Emily and I used to write together every day. We
  • It’s difficult to explain how much I love this ridiculous goober. I can’t pass through a room and see her and not say, “There’s my best friend! I’m so happy to see you!” And I always am. #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogstagram #bestfriends #dogsofinsta #plotthound #plotthoundsofinstagram #doglove #doglovers
  • Sorting photos on my phone and found this. I had achieved the correct look here. Have to remember that I found it. #looks #authorsofinstagram #personalstyle #selfactualization #authorlife #author #styleinspiration #eltonjohn #ireadya #authorsofig #writerstyle
  • This genuinely incredible cosplay of Stevie Bell in The Hand on the Wall (or La mano en la pared, as this is the Spanish edition published by @harpercollinsiberica) is from @lawerson6. She
