About Jill English Johnston

God writes His story on every heart, if we only pause to read it. My heart has lived in a fantasy world since early childhood and am delighted that God has finally brought me to the place where I can bring the fantasies to life through story. I am currently working on a fantasy trilogy (of course) but I also post thoughts, reflections and (hopefully) inspiration to my website: tabletsofhumanhearts.wordpress.com I am a follower of the Rabbi Jesus, married to my best friend and inspiration, and the mother of three incredible children, one daughter and two sons, a son-in-love, a daughter-in-love and two adorable granddaughters. When not writing, I passionately pursue prayer, reading (never enough time to read them all!), and the outdoors. My husband and I both served in the US Navy and have lived/travelled through many states and all over Asia. We both still enjoy travelling, but we really love our home in New Braunfels, located at the Texas Hill Country.

O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage! (Psalm 38:1, NLT) I’m one of those people who have a sensitive heart.  So, I usually try to learn things quickly in life because I don’t like being … Continue reading →

Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. (Psalm 37:1, NLT) Ah, but isn’t that a hard thing, not to worry or envy? Especially those we think are getting away with something. And we see them everywhere. The … Continue reading →
