Meet Bestselling Author R.M. Johnson

I met R.M. Johnson at the Sisterhood Showcase this past weekend in Memphis, Tennessee. He was quiet and reserved. When I asked if we could take a picture, he quickly said yes. He has an inviting smile and a warm demeanor. I hadn't heard of R. M. before the Sisterhood Showcase. But because his presence was so welcoming I knew he would become an author who's books I would have to have in the near future. His current book, No One in the World, is co-authored with the late great bestselling author E. Lynn Harris. E. Lynn Harris authored ten consecutive books to make The New York Times Best Seller list making him among the most successful African American author of his time. His books always contained drama, intrigue, suspense and were usually about closeted gay men. So when I saw E. Lynn Harris name on the cover of R.M. Johnson's novel, I knew it was a certified winner. R.M. states he and E. Lynn came up with the idea for No One in the World, five or six years ago. R.M. says, writing a book together was something they had always talked about doing. As a reader, I'm glad they did.

No One in the World is a story about twin brothers, separated at three years old and reunited thirty years later to find their lives, and their circumstances could not be more different. You have Cobi Winslow, a successful state's attorney and his brother Eric Reed, a convict and career criminal, fresh out of prison on probation. While Cobi navigates life as a closeted gay man under societal pressures, Eric meanwhile discovers Cobi's secret after stumbling upon Cobi in an intimate situation with a senator. Promising to keep the secret, Eric breaks the trust and tells one of his ex-cellmates. If Cobi's secret is exposed, what will this do to the brother's relationship? What will this do to Cobi's career?

If you're a fan of the drama and scandle E. Lynn was famous for, or the intrigue and suspense R.M. creates, then you'll love No One in The World. 

R.M. Johnson is the author of nine novels, including bestsellers The Harris Family and The Million Dollar Divorce. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Chicago State University. He currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
