Kentucky Johnson

WHO AM I - WHAT I DO

Whats in a name? Poetry of course!

"If I ever have a daughter I might like to name her Kentucky.

She’ll grow up beautiful and misunderstood, sharp and forgiving, she’ll know how to handle her losses, and besides,

I think Kentucky’s a right pretty name." Louisville poet, Eric Cecil, from his book A-Train Blues

My Father, Curtis Perkins, agreed with Eric, and so, here I am.

I am of Scottish/Irish descent - aged 31, and a married mother of two teenage boys. I am a no-nonsense Christian who believes in hard work, faith, and family, which I raise with my husband Eli,

I raise my boys in a tight-knit, traditional household, teaching them self-reliance, faith, and the value of hard work..Until I get the dollars coming in, I work two jobs at Waffle House and Rubys.

· I live down a holler in Rattlesnake Ridge: A rugged, heavily forested Appalachian area, full of winding backroads. Life here is tough but honest. People keep to themselves but look out for their own. My neighbors in Rooster Run: are a small, old-school Kentucky community built around a country store with one gas pump. Everyone knows everyone, and if they don’t recognize your truck, they’ll ask who your daddy is. I ain't moving.

Despite hustling hard to provide for my kids I don't complain about the long shifts and low wages cause I've got a dream bigger than a tip jar.

Even so, I am not interested in fame, fake smiles, or industry games.

I don't care about the spotlight—just getting paid for my songs.

I am Kentucky Johnson™

You ain’t ready. But it’s coming anyway.

From country grit to Southern Gothic horror,
The Ballad of Kentucky Johnson is a crossroads novel—
Where Willie Nelson meets Flannery O’Connor,
Where old hymns become war cries,
And light fights like hell to break through the dark.

🚨 COMING EASTER 2026
📖 A novel.
🎶 Two albums.
🎥 A screenplay.
🔥 A reckoning... and more.

This isn’t just a story. It’s mythos, mystery, and mess—all of it rooted in something true, answering questions like, 'What does it mean to be human? What does ownership mean in a world sold to systems?What happens when redemption meets real evil—personal and cosmic? '

This is birthing a universe. It’s dangerous, anointed, raw, and righteously rebellious.The kind of work that reshapes how faith, fiction, and truth collide in the modern age.
