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 30 titles published so far. You can find them all listed on the Home page. I also offer a collection of easy to sew fabric doll patterns. 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, classes and other fun websites. My books cover a wide range of topics including decorating your home, cooking, planning weddings and tea parties and crafting.

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.
