Bill Johnson

Bill Johnson (born in the late 1950s in South Dakota) is a science fiction writer whose works often have a "regional" tone influenced by his South Dakota origins. This is particularly true of his story "We Will Drink a Fish Together," which in 1998 won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette. His 1999 collection is called Dakota Dreamin'.

Outside of science fiction he has a wife, two kids: Kim and Michael, and is a business intelligence specialist in Illinois.
