| History buff Dan Johnson has been writing fiction since childhood but had to hit a midlife crisis to get serious about it. His first novel, a historical mystery entitled The Detroit Electric Scheme, was named one of Booklist’s Top Ten First Crime Novels of the year and won a 2011 Michigan Notable Book Award. Dan sent a copy to Jay Leno, a car enthusiast. That action earned Dan a interview segment on Leno's car website. Dan’s second mystery, Motor City Shakedown, was just selected winner of a 2012 Michigan Notable Book Award and The House of Crime and Mystery named it one of the top five crime novels of 2011. |
