J. Ivanel Johnson: Just A Stale Mate
J. Ivanel Johnson is the pen name for an author living with (dis)Ability who now resides in the Appalachian range of Northwestern New Brunswick on a small farm overlooking inspirational views of nature. Like her grandmother before her (the 'Ivanel' of her pen name) she has written her entire life, first publishing two poems with Annick Press in Toronto when she was only 12. She has been a high school English/Drama teacher, working & living in the highlands of Scotland, the moors of Yorkshire, & the Rockies of Montana & Yukon before settling in the east of Canada. She strives always to include culturally-diverse characters & those from marginalized communities in her works, as she has taught on Indigenous reservations, in inner-cities, & in remote mountain schools. She is the author of the JUST eSTATE mystery series, whodunnits with literary clues & wordplay, set in the late 1960s in various Canadian provinces.
This podcast will discuss the second book in the series, Just A Stale Mate, which was recently the Runner-Up for the 2023 Mystery & Crime Maxy Award.
