        Just a little about Me:

                   Gerald R Johnson, Jr.
                       also known as:
                        Damien Darke

The name I was born with is Gerald Robert Johnson, Jr. given to me by my Mother’s mom because she said I was the spitting image of my Father, and even to this day I hear that… a lot. I was a quick study as a child, my parents had me reading and writing by the time I was 3 and I've been hooked since then. As time progressed, I fell victim to my imagination, as a smart loner kid I spent a lot of time with pen and pad and I would write out the little adventures I had with my toys. Just from that you can tell that telling me to go to my room was not a bad thing

By elementary, teachers were constantly commending my parents for my love of reading and writing. By the time I was in the fifth grade I was reading on a near college level and I was writing short stories just because I enjoyed it. By the time I was out of the eighth grade going to high school, came up with the notion of writing a book, but the question was on what? High school I got lucky to have 4 years with 4 English teachers who kept me Motivated to write… they couldn’t stand how I wrote in longhand but they always commended me on my words. I finished my first fully written book when I was 16 and in the 11^th grade; I wish I still had that one.

Poetry was never one of my strongest suites … I could write poems, and usually if someone asked me to. I was never one to just sit and write them, but I’ve learned that poems are so explosively addicting, and if done properly visually beautiful and eloquent. And so now, I love being able to just feel one come along and write it out on my pad and then type it up. I am still a Storyteller… a Minstrel of Words… I love being able to sit at my laptop and let the stories play around in my head like a movie and type them out. To feel the flow of the action and then be able to articulate what I see in my head out so that others can share in on the ride I’m on. I am... but a meager Writer... I am an enigma with words that I find so very easy to conform into patterns of word play that conjoin to create a menagerie of thoughts and scenes upon scenes in a fantasy of collaborative ideas and dreams to complete... a Story... I am…a Writer…Storyteller...a whimsical Minstrel of words, and I dare you to read that which I create.
