Stories that linger long after the last page…

For the readers who talk to ancestors in dreams.

For the ones who carry grief like a second skin.

For the brujas, the cycle-breakers, the soft but unbreakable.

These are the stories I write for you.

From middle-grade magic to supernatural thrillers to psychological horror rooted in ancestral wounds—my books aren’t afraid of the dark. They meet it with love, honesty, and a little bit of fire.

If you’re into bold truths, quiet hauntings, and characters who find power in their pain…

Have a cup of Johanny. You’ll find what you’re looking for.

Johanny Ortega’s works are characterized by a profound engagement with themes of ancestral magic and personal growth. With titles like 'Mrs. Franchy's Evil Ring' and 'The Alvarez Girls', she invites readers into worlds where psychological horror intertwines with rich storytelling. 'The Ordinary Bruja', set to release in Fall 2025, explores the intersection of horror and coming-of-age narratives, capturing the essence of finding one's roots amidst ancestral spirits. Readers are drawn into gripping tales of sisterhood and sacrifice, with ghosts symbolizing unresolved stories and memories. Ortega’s narrative craft emphasizes the complexity of grief and personal transformation, weaving authenticity into her characters' journeys. Check out her books to discover how stories can evoke both haunting and empowering truths, perfect for readers seeking deep, resonant narratives.
