Book Launch! Learning Life Lessons by Richard "Razer" Johns
About the author
Richard "Razor" Johnson, 74, is a man whose life journey is marked by hard-earned wisdom, redemption, and an unshakable commitment to guiding the next generation. Once sentenced to life under California's Three Strikes Law, he was released through what he calls nothing short of divine intervention. His time behind bars, particularly in
Pelican Bay State Prison, gave him a raw and unfiltered understanding of life's hardest truths.
With the realization that time is precious and the future is shaped by the lessons we learn, Richard writes with urgency and purpose. His book a
300-page labor of love is dedicated to young men who may not have a father to teach them the meaning of life's most important words Through definitions filled with wisdom, experience, and deep personal insight, he offers direction to those who find themselves lost, just as he once was.
Since his release over five years ago, Richard has committed himself to making a difference, particularly by reaching out to women and families who lack the presence of a father or husband. He knows he cannot undo the years lost behind prison walls, but he is determined to use his past to build a better future for others. His story mirrors that of many who have walked a similar path, yet it remains uniquely his own a testament to the power of change, resilience, and the belief that even from tragedy. something good can emerge.
His words are not just lessons; they are a call to action. He hopes that by investing in young minds with wisdom and insight, they will be better equipped to survive the trials of life, learn from mistakes, and find their own path to success. Richard "Razor" Johnson writes not just to be heard, but to help because he knows firsthand that sometimes guidance can make all the difference
