No Mercy
"A slam-bang thriller born of today's headlines. No Mercy will take your breath away." Award-winning author, Kathryn Johnson, introduces new characters in Book 3 of her popular series, Affairs of State. Kate Foster, Chief Scientist for NASA's Heat Wave Project, works late into the night with her team. The last thing she expects is three terrorists breaking into her laboratory. Then things get worse. The intruders kill one of her people, kidnap her lead physicist, and hijack her satellite--with plans to turn it into a lethal weapon. Daniel Rooker, former Special Forces operative, is tasked with tracking down the intruders and stolen codes necessary to reclaim the rogue satellite. If he fails, countless innocents will die. But only Kate has the knowledge to use the sophisticated data and regain control of Heat Wave. She has no choice but to accompany Rooker's team on their most dangerous mission. When trouble knocks, Kate's all about logic; she uses her head. Rooker's a man of action; he prefers brute force. There's never been a less likely match. But along the way, they discover that--just maybe--opposites do attract. Nothing is what it seems, where Affairs of State are concerned.

The Gentleman Poet
“The Gentleman Poet is the best kind of historical novel—well researched, beautifully written, and wildly entertaining.” —Daniel Stashower, author of The Beautiful Cigar Girl The Gentleman Poet, author Kathryn Johnson’s novel of love, danger, and Shakespeare’s The Tempest, is a wonderful story that imagines a series of astonishing events that just might have inspired the immortal Bard to pen his magical tale. Told from the point of view of a young servant girl who strikes up a friendship with the not yet famous playwright when they are shipwrecked in the Bermudas, The Gentleman Poet gives a delightful new spin on Shakespearean lore reminiscent of the Academy Award-winning film, Shakespeare in Love.
Two Colored Women in France in World War I (New Intro, Annotated)
Approximately 150,000 African-American soldiers, officers and men went to France to serve in WWI. Alongside them were thousands of African-American women who served in the various volunteer relief organizations like the Red Cross and the Y.M.C.A. Addie Hunton and Kathryn Johnson were two of the women who served. With keen observation and intelligence, they tell the story of what it was like to be overseas "fighting for democracy" with only a glimmer of hope of achieving it back home after the war. They relate the soldiers' stories as well as their own excitement at their new experiences in Europe. Their experience of interacting with the French sharply contrasted with the segregation and humiliation exported from America to France with the Yankee troops. Yet they did not carry bitterness home with them. They remained proud and glad that they had the privilege to serve. For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
