Ian Johnstone vyrastal v Oxfordshire a dnes žije v Oxforde, čo by mohlo naznačovať muža, ktorý rád ostáva pri tom, čo pozná. V skutočnosti si Ian osvojil zvláštny zvyk presúvať sa medzi svetmi. Vyrastal v tichom anglickom meste, ale väčšinu života strávil cestovaním a prácou v Afrike. Má rád vedu, ale študoval anglickú literatúru. Vyrastal v Oxforde, ale titul získal na Cambridge. Svoju kariéru v publikačnom dome začal produkciou kníh pre západnú Afriku a skončil pri tvorbe futuristických webových stránok a virtuálnych vzdelávacích prostredí. Najnovšie opustil publikačnú činnosť, aby sa stal spisovateľom. Preto možno vôbec nie je prekvapujúce, že píše fantastické romány o cestách do iných svetov. Johnstoneho dielo skúma témy inakosti a objavovania, pričom jeho štýl je známy svojou schopnosťou preniesť čitateľa do úplne nových realít.
