Johnita M. Smith

As an American novelist, my passion lies in creating fascinating stories built around family drama, dark family secrets, and revealing truths. From the depth of my own family trauma and my unlimited imagination I continue to create stories that are impactful, relatable, and inspire readers to reimagine the world through the eyes of unique characters exploring fantasy, horror, and romance. My writing blends sensual elegance with emotional intensity and mythic undertones. In my dark fantasy novel The Devil’s Baby, I explore divine love, spiritual warfare, and inherited power. Through the audio version of my short story, Terror In The Woods, I dive into atmospheric suspense and psychological fear. Whether on the page or in audio, I aim to create stories that feel cinematic, layered, and unforgettable. A graduate of Full Sail University with a BFA in Creative Writing, now pursing my MFA in Creative Writing also at Full Sail University, I'm a member of the Creative Writing Club and Alumni Network. I continue refining my craft with discipline and intention. As a wife of 20 + years, mother of four, and passionate author publishing works each year, I write with purpose, passion, and excitement.
