Meet Tonya Johnson Peach

From Kentucky Roots to Southern Gothic Stories

Tonya Johnson Peach grew up in a small town in Central Kentucky with a lifelong love of reading and writing. Her journey took her through college, marriage, motherhood, graduate studies, travel, and many different life experiences — but writing remained a constant.

Her academic background in psychology and counseling, combined with years of lived experience, gives her stories a deep emotional authenticity. The mysteries she creates are as much about the human heart as they are about the supernatural.
