Here is the July edition of ‘Spot the Difference’ here at Life After Gateway.

My Agatha-Christie-inspired murder mystery TechnoThriller, The Furnace, was my first novel. It received the 2015 CYGNUS Award for Sci-Fi Thriller and the 2015 CLUE Award for Blended Mystery. It follows the classic murder mystery formula, but uses science as the method of murder and features a future where humans are suffering under military dictatorship. Now, years after release, there is a new review I thought I’d share:

On Sunday, I made the long voyage to Indigo/Chapters London North in London, Ontario for a book signing to promote my newest books, Fatal Depth and An Island of Light. I say this tongue in cheek, because the store is in the same city in which I live: London, Ontario. Usually I’m driving hours to a signing … this time, it was only twenty minutes. It was heaven.

CTV News Article on Timothy S. JohnstonLast week, CTV News ran an article about me and my love for the Science Fiction, Horror, Mystery, Thriller, and Suspense genres and how they inspire me to write.
I wanted to showcase this incredible concept artwork by Nelson Housden for each book in The Tanner Sequence. Agatha Christie and Isaac Asimov inspired me to write these futuristic murder mysteries, published by Carina Press back in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The Furnace was the first book I sold, back in 2012.
