THE AUTHOR & THE BOOK
J.R. JOHANSSON is a young adult thriller author published with Flux & FSG/Macmillan. Her debut, INSOMNIA is coming June 2013. She has a B.S. degree in public relations and a background in marketing. She credits her abnormal psychology minor with inspiring many of her characters. When she's not writing, she loves reading, playing board games, and sitting in her hot tub. Her dream is that someday she can do all three at the same time. She has two young sons and a wonderful husband. In fact, other than her cat, Cleo, she's nearly drowning in testosterone.
Her eyes saved his life. Her dreams released his darkness.
After
four years of sleeplessness, high school junior Parker Chipp can’t take much
more. Every night, instead of sleeping, he enters the dreams of the last person
he’s made eye contact with. If he doesn’t sleep soon, Parker will die.
Then
he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him
blissful rest that’s utterly addictive. But what starts out as a chance meeting
turns into an obsession; Parker’s furious desire for what he needs pushes him
to extremes he never thought he’d go. And when someone begins terrorizing Mia
with twisted death threats, Parker’s memory blackouts leave him doubting his
own innocence.
