Maud Johnson
Maud Battle Johnson (c. 1918Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". – September 5, 1985)[1] was a US journalist and author of romance novels. Johnson began her writing career working for newspapers in North Carolina, eventually becoming managing editor of the Rocky Mount Evening Telegram.[1] Her novels for teen-aged girls included a romance series set in Virginia — where Johnson later died of cancer. The novels, beginning in 1979 with I'm Christy[2] and continuing through Christy's Choice,[1] Christy's Love,[3] and Christy's Senior Year,[1] were best sellers[1] but were critically panned as "corny"[2] and "bland."[3] Johnson died in Richmond, Virginia, but was buried in Pineview Cemetery in Rocky Mount; her final novel, Dating Blues, was published after her death.[1]
