BEST SELLING AUTHOR TO HOST BOOK PAVILION AT GREEN NEW MEDIA EXPO
Green Book Pavilion features award-winning author Carolyn Howard-Johnson as host to publishers, literary agents, authors--anyone who considers themselves Greenies! Kindle readers and e-books, bring on the video interview!
The series of Green New Media Life Expo will include Book Pavilions at all venues of the expo. Anyone in the publishing world who considers themselves green may feature themselves at the expo and the new media technology that is part of the Expo package will continue to broadcast their books and services online long after the trappings of the festivities have been swept away. And, of course, that New Media technology will reduce their promotional footprint to help keep the environment green.
Award winning author Carolyn Howard-Johnson plays host to the exhibitors and guests and will interview many of the participating authors, publishers, printers and more. Carolyn, the author of the HowToDoItFrugally series of books for writers, has been interested in the environment since the 1970s and is an official blogger for the Green New Media Life Expo (www.greennewmedialifeexpo.com). She often features green tips for authors in her Sharing with Writers online newsletter (www.hotodoitfrugally.com) and on her blog (www.sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com), which was picked as at Writer's Digest 101 Best Website. Howard-Johnson is an instructor for UCLA Extension's Writers' Program and the award-winning author of literary fiction and poetry and has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV stations nationwide.
Expos will be held at the Ontario Convention Center, Ontario, CA; the Cal Expo Fairgrounds in Sacramento, CA, and the Pomona Fairgrounds, Pomona, CA--all this fall. The first is Sept. 12-13 at the Ontario venue. Well-known TV and Los Angeles radio host Rey Ybarra is producing the event. Sought-after Randy Detroit (www.cameraforhire.net) will coordinate the filming. Author Patricia Kokinos is coordinating publicity.

Visions Underground: Carlsbad Caverns through the Artist’s Eye
by Lois Manno
Published in collaboration with
The National Speleological Society (www.caves.org)
ISBN 978-1-890689-95-7
8” x 10”softcover $19.99 192 pages 142 illustrations
Cover art courtesy of Alexander Dux and Ranger Doug Enterprises
Scheduled for review on July 26 in Albuquerque Journal
What was the most challenging photographic subject of Ansel Adams’ career? Many would agree that it was Carlsbad Caverns. At one point during his work at the Caverns, Adams wrote a letter to friend and fellow photographer Alfred Stieglitz, asking him to “pray for me.” Did he succeed or fail? The previously unpublished Adams images in this book will allow lovers of photographic art to come to their own conclusions.

Lois Manno has been a caver for thirty years. She is a fine artist and graphic designer who has volunteered at Carlsbad Caverns National Park for more than fifteen years. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Reviews
Visions Underground is a well-written and easily read book that will appeal to a wide audience. General readers as well as artists, photographers, and cave historians will all find something of interest here. In fleshing out this historical portrait of a century of creative expression at Carlsbad Caverns, Manno offers readers a rarely glimpsed vision of subterranean art and culture -- NSS News, Summer 2009
Lois Manno’s wonderful new book, Visions Underground: Carlsbad Caverns through the Artist’s Eye, is a ground-breaking look at cave art. Visions Underground is well-researched, well-written, well-illustrated and can be summed up in one word: “Wow!” -- New Mexico Breeze, June 12, 2009
When one thinks about natural beauty, one thinks of pristine green fields. But there is beauty in darker areas as well. “Visions Underground: Carlsbad Caverns Through the Artist’s Eye” photographically and artistically chronicles an artist’s journey through the Carlsbad Caverns, a simply beautiful series of caverns in New Mexico. Combining painting with photography, “Visions Underground” is a visual treat and fine coffee table book. -- MidWest Book Reviews, June 2009

Carolyn Howard Johnson News
Those of you who follow my regular newsletter know that recently I became infatuated with the power of the law of attraction and the book and CD (I prefer the CD)called 'The Secret'. I'm not on Rhonda Byrne's payroll but I should be. ( - :
I keep relating the age - old principles of the law of attraction to my own life, my own career and it's working so well I want to share its power with my writing friends. But then that's my M.O. That sharing business. If I could have a daily dose of power - of - the - universe coaching, I'd sure get it.
Did I say that? Well I can and so can you. It can come right to your e - mail box and, yes, you know me. It's more frugal than those high - priced weekends, etc.
It's from my friend, Elizabeth Grant, “The Quantum Coach.” It’s called Quantum Power Sessions . It's an innovative tool to help you awaken to your inner happiness and even propel your writing career. Her plan is simple. You spend a few minutes every single weekday morning with one of the most effective mentors in North America (that's Elizabeth) and she keeps you on track. That's essential when you're first learning a new way to think and to be.
Copy this URL and paste it into your browser window to watch a 1 - minute video and listen to a sample:
http://www.easywebautomation.com/app/?af=968239
Elizabeth’s story of personal transformation is remarkable. A talented executive by her mid - 20s, she felt unfulfilled and out of sync, and spent most of the next 15 years in a state of major depression and anxiety, at times unable to even hold a job.
Then, she experienced a spiritual awakening, and realized that she didn’t have to suffer; that her outer life was just a reflection of the inner her – not the other way around! She discovered the power of living in the now, and she stumbled upon a way of life she now calls Quantum Living– living in harmony with the universe, and developing the thoughts, mindset, habits and consciousness to help you tap into your own inner happiness and create unlimited prosperity in your life. It was only later that she learned there was something called the Law of Attraction, and that this was the reason her life had become so effortless.
Elizabeth has now emerged as one of the most effective spiritual mentors and Law of Attraction teachers in the world.
A few months ago, she wondered, “If I could spend just five minutes every day with everyone who was seeking inner happiness and outer abundance, imagine the shifts they could make in just a few months! And what if I could make this affordable for virtually anyone seeking this kind of help?”
And so she came up with Quantum Power Sessions. Here’s what they’re about:
Each weekday morning, you’ll receive a powerful five - minute mp3 in your inbox personally created by Elizabeth. It will be filled with the highest quality mentoring available, helping you to permanently integrate key concept into your life, such as:
The Law of Attraction
The Power of Now
Wealth Consciousness
The Art of Allowing
The Power of Thought
… and more!
Elizabeth has completely transformed her own life, which is why she understands what you’re going through. She cuts through the fluff and presents complicated concepts like Wealth Consciousness in a simple, easy - to - understand manner. And each day, she’ll give you a simple action you can integrate into your day!
Gradually, you’ll be able to experience the huge shifts you hear others experience. And these powerful sessions cost only about $5 a week! In addition, Elizabeth will help you reinforce what you’ve learned through a FREE monthly group coaching call!
And the time is right. Many are so enthused they're offering free bonus gifts when you decide to help yourself. So if Quantum Power Sessions resonates with you, you can access $8,000 in gifts from people like Marci Shimoff, Lisa Nichols, John Assaraf, and me!

DOROTHY MASSEY'S BOOK-IN-HAND, OTHER HONORS
Dorothy Massey received NMBA's coveted Book-in-Hand Honor at our Gala Meeting on the very day her Collected Works Bookstore opened at its spacious new location at Galisteo St. and Water St. in Santa Fe! Dorothy and daughter Mary Wolf have served New Mexico readers and authors with dedication and professionalism since buying the store in 1996. Karen Villanueva received NMBA's Special Recognition for her diligent work as our publicist and FlashNews email coordinator. Outgoing Executive Director Richard Polese (now our Senior Advisor) surprised former President Richard Harris and retiring Secretary Ruthie Francis with framed Certificates of Appreciation for their contributions above and beyond the call of duty to members of our non-profit association of book professionals.
NEWSLETTER EDITOR NEEDED NOW!
Our venerable and widely-recognized Libro newsletter seeks a new editor, beginning with the first issue of fall. It's published and mailed six times a year and posted on our NMBA website as well. Richard Polese and Sunny Elliot are composing the July-August issue, but a fresh hand is needed to write and edit Libro from this point forward. You'll be the next "voice" of NMBA! It's a very satisfying role. Contact info@nmbook.org or reach Richard at (505) 231-1755 to learn details.

Carolyn Howard Johnson Poem in Literary Journal Dash
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Carolyn Howard-Johnson
E-mail: HoJoNews@aol.com
New Literary Journal Features Novelist's Poetry
Editors of the new literary journal Dash chose Carolyn Howard-Johnson's poem "Long Before They Closed the Napster Down" for their just-published spring edition. The new book is sponsored by the Creative Writing Club and the Department of English, Comparative Literature and Linguistics at California State University, Fullerton.
Howard-Johnson says, "My pleasure at being published by this journal doubled because the poem is based on memories of my father, an avid and thoroughly addicted smoker who loved jazz. His time was a different time and this poem evokes those times, the music of his time . . . and him. That it was chosen for a journal like this--one with a yourthful edge--renews my faith that there is not so much difference between generations after all."
The journal is dedicated to "publish poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, criticism, art, and hybrids that push the boundaries of short, open-ended expression."
Howard-Johnson's poem poetry has appeared in literary journals like the Mochila Review, Banyan Review, the new Pear Noir, and Poetic Voices. One of her poems won a reader award at The Pedestal Magazine.
Howard-Johnson studied at UCLA with Suzanne Lummis, editor of Speechless the Magazine http://www.speechlessthemagazine.org/ where her chapbook Tracings (Finishing Line Press), winner of Military Writers Society of America’s Award of Excellence was featured in 2005.
The poet's literary novel, This Is the Place, has won eight awards. Her book of creative nonfiction has won three. Her newest chapbook She Wore Emerald Then: Reflections on Motherhood (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1438263791/), was coauthored by Magdalena Ball and proudly self published in the tradition of poets for centuries. She is also an authors’ advocate and author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally series of books for writers (www.howtodoitfrugally.com).

June Lunch Meeting -- Pitch Your Book
At the next lunch meeting of the NM Book Coop, everyone will have an opportunity to "pitch your book." Friday, June 26, 11:30 a.m. Golden Corral Buffet, 3401 NW Hwy 528 (just west of the intersection of Coors and Alameda) Cost is $7.49 plus tax and tip. Call 505/344-9382 or email info@nmbookcoop.com to reserve a seat.
Anyone attending will have an opportunity to pitch their book; participants will be given 2 minutes to make a presentation on selling or pitching their book. This is a practice session which will help everyone attending on making the sales pitch to book stores.
Bring 1 copy of your newest book and make a 2-minute pitch on what the book is about and why it might be a good book for a bookstore to have and sell. The group will then offer suggestions on helping the author make a better sales presentation to bookstores. All presentations will be timed so anyone making a presentation should know exactly what they want to say about their book.

June Lunch Meeting -- Pitch Your Book
At the next lunch meeting of the NM Book Coop, everyone will have an opportunity to "pitch your book." Friday, June 26, 11:30 a.m. Golden Corral Buffet, 3401 NW Hwy 528 (just west of the intersection of Coors and Alameda) Cost is $7.49 plus tax and tip. Call 505/344-9382 or email info@nmbookcoop.com to reserve a seat.
Anyone attending will have an opportunity to pitch their book; participants will be given 2 minutes to make a presentation on selling or pitching their book. This is a practice session which will help everyone attending on making the sales pitch to book stores.
Bring 1 copy of your newest book and make a 2-minute pitch on what the book is about and why it might be a good book for a bookstore to have and sell. The group will then offer suggestions on helping the author make a better sales presentation to bookstores. All presentations will be timed so anyone making a presentation should know exactly what they want to say about their book.
