Robert Johnson was born and raised in Oakland, California, before eventually moving to Hollywood. After earning an MFA from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film, and Television, he became a screenwriter, earning first place honors in Samuel Goldwyn and Jack Nicholson Screenwriting Awards. His first book, Thirteen Moons: A Year in the Wilderness, chronicled a Henry David Thoreau–esque year he spent living out of a teepee on the banks of the American River high in the Sierra Nevadas. He currently lives in Santa Barbara with his wife and children.
