JOHNNY WORTHEN is an award-winning, multiple-genre, tie-dye-wearing author, voyager, and damn fine human being! Trained in literary criticism and cultural studies, he writes upmarket fiction, long and short, mentors others where he can, and teaches writing at the University of Utah. His best-selling science fiction series beginning with OF KINGS, QUEENS & COLONIES, and now with OF CIVILIZED, SAVED & SAVAGES is an epic tale in the vein of Frank Herbert’s DUNE. It is available from Flame Tree Press. Like Johnny’s many other titles these are available wherever better books are sold.
