Author of The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won't, named Best Professional Book 2004 by USA Book News; This Is the Place; Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered; and Tracings, a chapbook of poetry. Ms. Howard-Johnson was a recipient of a Woman of the Year in Arts and Entertainment awarded by the California State Legislature.
My mother always said, "You won't know if you can do it unless you try." So I dedicated my first book to her. Nowadays, I like to bring her practical optimism to my courses. Every step in the publishing process -- from first draft to final book signing -- should be an adventure. We talk specifics not generalities, experience not philosophy. You learn from my pratfalls and my successes, and from those of your classmates. I'm your in-house advisor, nurturer, and resource. I want to inspire you to try something you didn't know you could do. Or encourage you to do something you thought you didn't want to do. We follow my mother's good advice and have fun doing it. You've already got what it takes; let's find out how to use it!
