PIE IN THE SKY is a refreshing success story by the author of hundreds of magazine articles and a dozen books. Johnston discusses writing for magazines, writing and self-publishing books, and her work at the Afton Historical Society Press, where she is the founding publisher. "I am writing this book in the hope that it will inspire others to indulge in the joys of writing for publication," she begins. "Writing is an immensely satisfying activity and one that has given tremendous focus to my life. I am thankful beyond words to have creative work that often literally consumes me. My writing and publishing duties provide the kind of never-ending challenge that I enjoy waking up to each morning."

Black-and-white photographs illustrate this thoughtful and deeply engaging accounting which is hallmarked by the author's tenacity and insight.

Patricia Johnston shares her personal journey,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pie in the Sky: A Memoir About Writing and Publishing (Paperback)
In Pie In The Sky: A Memoir About Writing And Publishing, Patricia Johnston shares her personal journey as a writer and self-publisher. Along the way Patricia also shares her views regarding the 1993 murder of her daughter, Jane Ellen Neuman, the subject of a CBS "48 Hours" television program and Patricia's ultimately successful crusade to bring her daughter's killer to justice. As a publisher, Patricia's Afton Historical Society Press has produced 37 titles (many of them award winners) and has pursued partnerships to produce and sponsor television documentaries and art exhibitions. Pie In The Sky will prove of intense interest to anyone who aspires to have their writings published, to become a small press publisher, or who has an interest in the small press phenomena and trends in today's highly competitive and rapidly evolving publishing community.
