She also wrote four mysteries about an international photojournalist and a standalone\, Moscow Nights. Her books have been nominated for the Mary Higgins Clark Award and the Library of Virginia People’s Choice Award.

His poems are not pop and flash\, rather more like a slow dance with someone you’re going to love forever.”  \nA Cave Canem graduate fellow\, King holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the Stonecoast Program at the University of Southern Maine.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company presents the world premiere of The Witnesses (formerly titled Tell Me You’re Dying)
DESCRIPTION:By C.A. Johnson\nDirected by Jade King Carroll  \nThe Witnesses compels us to question not only if we can change but if we have time to do so while the world appears to be ending.\nInfused with C.A.
