B. G. Howard was born and raised in the small town of Baxley, GA, where he graduated high school prior to relocating to Macon, GA.There, he attended College at Mercer University, though circumstance prevented him from completing his collegiate education. He lived in a number of cities throughout the eastern part of the United States, before finally relocating to Florida and, eventually, becoming self-employed. The, now, former business owner continues to reside in Jacksonville where he suffered an automobile accident in 2001, leaving him classified as ""clinically disabled."" He considers the extensive injuries suffered as a blessing, given the fact that the incident subsequently fostered the opportunity for him to embark upon a new career as an author. A previous state and national award winner as a newspaper columnist years before the accident, B. G. Howard resumed his efforts writing an opinion column for the hometown Baxley News-Banner during September of 2015. He also writes philosophy, poetry, and short stories. As B. G. admits, ""There is so much inside my head that writing is simply a mandatory outlet."" Tina is a freelance editor who absolutely loves working with new fiction authors! Through her work as a freelance editor, she soon began to notice there was a serious lack of education among writers about the entire editing process. That was when she started writing her next published book, Editing Survival Guide for Writers. This entire idea was spawned from one conversation she had with an author who tried to inform her that her idea of line editing was completely false! It was at that precise moment she realized she was fighting against something much bigger than herself in her career as a fiction editor. Editing Survival Guide for Writers This book is the first of its kind that gives readers a full explanation of the types of editors they'll meet, how their edits differ for fiction and nonfiction authors, the many different ways they can find quality editors, how to evaluate the great ones, and what to do when you can't afford a quality editor. It also includes a step-by-step action plan that guides readers through the process of finding and evaluating their future editor, and it also has worksheets for beta readers (nonfiction and fiction) and an ideal reader interview.
Sometimes we are born into a family, and at other times we have ties that bind us in different ways. Family Ties: Thicker than Blood by B. G. Howard is a genre of literature that needs to be revisited. In the vein of GoodFellas and The Godfather, Family Ties: Thicker than Blood takes the reader into the heart of organized crime. Willie, the main character, is a young man from the South who finds his way to New York. He befriends an organized crime family boss and, thusly, the new Family Ties are born. The novel is also a love affair with the city of New York. You will be transported onto the streets of New York City in all its glory and darkness. --Professor Gwen Alexis, California State Fullerton The Family Ties characters pulled me onto the pages and made it difficult to put the book down as the story is filled with action, romance, and adventure. Amazingly, B. G. Howard takes you on a ride alongside Willie LeBeaux through the streets of New York City, to the countryside of rural Georgia, and back to the city as he attempts to navigate the perils of a criminal enterprise, family drama, and opposing love interests. After reading Family Ties: Thicker than Blood you'll want the characters' lives to continue. It demands the need for a sequel. --J. A. Johnson, Entrepreneur, Jacksonville, FL
