Johnny Worthen is a widely published, award-winning, best-selling author of books and stories. Trained in stand-up comedy, modern literary criticism and cultural studies, he writes excellent multi-genre fiction, symbolized by his love of tie-dye and good words. “I wear tie-dye for my friends, but I write what I like to read,” he says. “This guarantees me at least one fan and easy dressing decisions in the morning.” Johnny teaches writing at the University of Utah and lives in a house with his wife, assorted cats. There’s also a lawn. Find him at: www.johnnyworthen.com.
