Alicia Johnson began writing at a young age. She wrote her first short story in the first grade, named “Alphabet Family”, winning her a school literary award. She continued writing throughout school and even joined her high school newspaper team. Alicia shared her first gossip column in the high school newspaper with a friend where teens could have life questions answered through the column.  
During her adult life Alicia set writing aside temporarily to pursue her career and other passions including the rhinestone shirt business that she and her husband own together, named Precious Dezigns.  Their motto is, “If you can think it, we can BLING IT”.
Alicia and her husband currently live in Richmond, VA and have four children. She began writing again in 2009 with “His Deuce” during a stressful time in her life. It was during this time that she found and renewed her relationship with Jesus Christ.  While not writing Alicia is also pursuing her degree in Psychology, minoring in Christian Counseling from Liberty University.
