About the Author

Hi, I’m N.A. Johns—a DeafDisabled storyteller passionate about creating adventures that entertain, inspire, and represent. My books weave together my love for fantasy, Afrofuturistic sci-fi, magic, and mystery, with a deep commitment to showcasing authentic, diverse, and intersectional experiences.

Growing up, I devoured books by authors like R.L. Stine, Walter Mosley, Tananarive Due, Christopher Pike, and Octavia Butler. Mysteries hooked me. I loved figuring things out, unraveling the twists and turns, and chasing the thrill of the unknown. Sci-fi opened up entire universes where I could let my imagination soar—maybe because I struggled with science in school, but in these worlds, I could go beyond whoa! And horror? I’m obsessed. I love it so much that one day, I’m going to write a horror book that leaves you breathless.

From enchanted realms filled with magic to real-world mysteries that demand sharp wit and courage, my stories spotlight Deaf teens leading the charge. They’re bold, resourceful, and unafraid to break stereotypes as they solve puzzles, uncover secrets, and navigate complex worlds. Justice work—whether it’s set in a classical world, a post-apocalyptic landscape, or a universe that defies imagination—is at the heart of what I love to write. It’s my core, my soul, and what drives me forward as a creator.

Why These Stories Matter

The main characters in my books are Deaf teens and youth of color, including DeafBlind and DeafDisabled folx. They’re unapologetically themselves—queer, disabled, and beautifully intersectional—because representation matters. These stories highlight the magic in community, diversity, and embracing who you are.

Whether you’re a teen looking for characters who reflect your experiences, a family searching for inclusive stories, or a fan of magic, mystery, and a little bit of whoa, you’ll find something to love here.
