Books

 

Allan Johnson has been writing for most of his life, beginning with poetry and short fiction through his college years and then mostly nonfiction for the thirty years that he practiced sociology as a teacher and then public speaker on issues of social justice.  He returned to his first love as a writer—the power of story, as fiction and memoir—following publication of The Gender Knot.
