About Me
Meredith Johnston is a fiction writer focusing on stories of life. An avid reader since childhood, Meredith graduated with a degree in Rhetoric from the University of Illinois. She finds inspiration in the intricacies of relationships and the beauty of everyday life.
In Miss Johnston's debut novel, My Irrational Fear of Thunder, Jessica Kilpatrick goes out for dinner and comes home with a puppy whose devotion not only gives Jessie the courage to rescue herself from the foolish choices of her insecurity, but also introduces her to an intriguing motorcycle-riding ER nurse who is interested in more than just her dog.
Meredith lives in the Boston suburbs with her old dog, Joey. He thinks she needs to spend a bit less time with her nose in a book.
