A crime renaissance, gentrification, and racial tension between the police and the people they are sworn to protect are tearing New York City apart. Through the story of Lt. Robert Grey-tormented by the murder of his father years before-The Guilty follows an elite undercover unit taking down the most notorious drug gang in New York, facing revenge, and corruption within its own ranks and city hall.

With hardnosed realism and complex characterization informed by Johnson's years with the NYPD and Homeland Security, The Guilty traces the similarities between Grey's unit, Derek Mason's notorious and violent drug gang that he's hunting. Both groups follow the code of the streets: whether it's the Blue Wall of Silence, or the Stop Snitching Campaign. No matter the side, in New York City, the guilty are the most protected.

Power and emotion. This brief book of poetry and short stories has something rare in poetry today, power and emotion. Some are about love or lost love, some are about alienation, some will upset you, some will make you sad, some will tug at your heart; but all will make you stop and think. Most are written in free verse, but some are written in Imagery, Ballad, or random rhyming style. The short stories are about life and so two of them have some slight adult content and two of them are semi-autobiographical. The first short story is written in a very unusual or even an abnormal way. It is a story about a conversation between two men walking into a bar and sitting down and drinking. There is no background or narrative written. The only words written are the ones spoken by one of the men. Even his thoughts are not written. Yet it is easy to follow, but a very compelling story. All the poetry and most of the short stories were written over 40 years ago by the author with no intention to ever have any of it published.

Brain Boxing is a serious confrontation. It's so wrong that it's right. It is influential, hypnotizing, and mind-catching.
People talk about achievements, tending to judge others based on the amount of success they've had. But I write just for fun. If I hadn't figured out how to have my work printed and bound, I'd still be doing something along these lines. But it just so happens that I found a way to market my books and present them to you.
Brain Boxing is my contribution to society.
I'll never apologize for anything I've written. The stories I write take too much time, too much thought. If you don't get them then someone else will.

When we were little, our father filmed family moments with a motion picture camera (as he called it). I never saw the footage until I was an adult. What a blessing it was to see my parents when they were younger, and all of my siblings in those frames. I actually cried when I saw myself as an infant, because my brother Rodney, although he was just a pre-teen, was holding me like I was the most precious child in the world.He held me like I was his.This image is fitting for Rodney. He is a man who takes ownership
