A teacher for 37 years, DARLEEN JOHNSON retired to enjoy reading and writing books. After reading about the threat of a Yellowstone eruption, she decided to use that as an opportunity for writing a book with a different explanation for vampires, UFO's, and E.T. observers working with people who do not scream for faint during catastrophes. When she's not writing, she's reading, playing bridge, or working for her nonprofit public benefit corporation, Helping Other People Everywhere, Inc. She supports Kenyan nurseries, orphanages, and high schools by organizing projects that sponsor African teachers. (All profits made from this book will go to HOPE Inc.) In addition, she collects, washes, mends and sorts school lost and founds to provide coats and sweaters for the needy in her community. She also washed the towels and bathmats for the "Showers for the Homeless" project in Hanford. This laundry queen currently resides peacefully in California's San Joaquin Valley; a place she hopes is safe from impending volcanic disasters.
