Luke Johnson

Author of Literary Fiction

based in VIC

Luke is a physiotherapist, husband and father of two. He lives in Ocean Grove on the Bellarine Peninsula. His career has involved listening intently to clients tell their story, from elite athletes to those who seek his help in private practice, and this awareness of the breadth of human experience and aspect of how the wold can be experienced so differently infoms his writing intimately. A lifelong reader and lover of books, his debut novel, King Tide, is due for release in August 2025 through Affirm.

"Reading can form such a unique gateway to many things in life - principally an understanding that you are part of a greater throng, and often enough that somebody else understands you without ever meeting you. Reading can inspire wonder, engender the awareness that other worlds are only mere paragraphs away, and it can be the vehicle to either escape from worries or enter into any real-world conflict or meaningful issue one has a passion for. It is a universal conversation any reader can feel part of."
