Portia Johnson-Butler
Author
Portia Johnson‑Butler writes with the fire of a woman who has lived, loved, endured, and risen. A Wife, Mother, Nana, Niece, Cousin, Sister, and Friend, she stands grounded in the truth that every role she carries is possible because God loved her first, and that love fuels her creativity.
Blessed with a vivid imagination and shaped by the heartbeat of Black culture, Portia grew up surrounded by the sounds of cookouts, laughter over card tables, dominoes slamming, and the storytelling magic of barbershop conversations. Life wasn’t perfect, but the good times shine brighter, and they fuel the world she creates on the page.
From that light came The Ebony Werewolf series. With Wolves Up, Portia unleashes a world where supernatural power meets cultural authenticity, where Blackness is fierce, youthful, and unapologetically magical. Her wolves run wild with strength, loyalty, and legacy, and they carry the rhythm of the life that shaped her.
Portia Johnson‑Butler is only at the beginning of her saga. The wolves are awake. And she’s just getting started.
