About Author Johan Twiss

Dear Brilliant Reader,

First things first. Please join my Reader Club (it's a lot of fun) and gain insider access to giveaways, sales, book recommendations, funny stories, and upcoming releases.

Now that we have that bit of housekeeping out of the way and you've joined the club (go you!), let me officially introduce myself. My name is Johan Twiss. (Pronounced Yo-Han. Just pretend you saw Han Solo and called out, "Yo, Han, what's up?" There, you've got it down.)

This is my "look at me I'm a professional," picture.

Expecto patronum Gotham!

I double as a voice actor when time permits.

I like to paint.

Me doing my best Bob Ross impersonation while teaching a painting class.

I love playing Disc Golf (like a lot...it's my therapy)

I also love being on the water and paddle boarding. And yes, in case you were wondering, you can fit 7 inflated paddleboards strapped down on top of a Prius.

Exploring the outdoors and roadtrips with my family is a favorite past time.

My first vehicle was an old truck called BIG UGLY.

Author Johan Twiss on the cover of the ebay magazine

I once had hair on my head...and could levitate watches.
(From when I was on the cover of the eBay magazine back in 2010)

And I like to build things, like this dining room set with benches and a penny border table.

On a more serious note, I'm a modern day abolitionist who supports the work of anti-human trafficking NGO's worldwide. I've written a novella about human trafficking in Cambodia titled 30 Red Dresses. There are many forms of human trafficking, and this story touches on one of the saddest ways children are exploited. But through my experience with NGO's and interviewing survivors, my book focuses on the success, aftercare, and hope for trafficking victims and ending slavery in our world.
