Text Box: About Gloria Hander Lyons I’ve channeled 30 years of training and hands-on experience in the areas of art, interior decorating, crafting and event planning into writing creative how-to books, with 33 titles published so far. You can find them all listed on the Home page. I began my writing career designing original craft projects featured in magazines, such as Better Homes and Gardens, McCall’s, Country Handcrafts, and Crafts. Then I progressed to writing creative how-to books and started my own publishing company, Blue Sage Press, to produce them. Visit my Blog to read more about my books and other fun websites. View some of my clips and credits. My books cover a wide range of topics including decorating your home, cooking, planning weddings and tea parties, crafting plus humorous short stories and motivational tips. I’ve also published a guide to share the information I’ve learned about self-publishing with those of you who long to be published authors but think it’s an impossible dream. It’s not! You can do it and my book: Self-Publishing On a Budget: A Do-It-All-Yourself Guide can show you how. Order or read more about it on the Self-Publishing page. You’ll also find helpful tips and self-publishing links there. Many of my books are available on Amazon.com.
