I am Mary Joy Johnson (right), one half of
the team writing under the pseudonym M. J. Williams; my sister-in-law Peggy
Williams constitutes the other half. We teamed up to write mystery novels.
Peggy has been a free-lance writer
most of her adult life, writing scripts for documentary films, magazine
features, and online content.
She has taught elementary school since graduating from Michigan
State University. She also received a
master’s
degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Peggy and her husband, Mark, have two grown
children and one new grandson, who, of course, is the light of their lives.
When Peggy’s not
teaching, she’s writing.
When I’m not writing, I’m
quilting. I retired from teaching
writing at Bay College in Escanaba, Michigan several years ago. I earned both a bachelor’s and
a master’s
degree at Central Michigan University. I
also have two grown children, but I beat Peggy in the grandparent department; I
have three teenage granddaughters Since
my retirement, I tutor ESL and learning disabled adults and have become very
active in Madison’s quilting community.

We’ve recently independently-published our
mystery novel, On the Road to Death’s
Door, the first in a series, featuring a retired small town public
safety officer and her husband. Emily and Stan Remington inherit a used RV and
begin their travels in Wisconsin’s Door County where they are thrown into a
murder investigation involving an old college buddy of Stan’s. It is available for the Kindle and as a
print-on-demand paperback from Amazon.com.
The next book in the series, which
takes place in Boston, is in production (read that as “we’re
still writing it”).
