  <about><![CDATA[Myra Johnson’s roots go deep into Texas soil, but she’s proud to be a new Oklahoman. Empty-nesters now, she and her husband share their home with two loveable dogs and a snobby parakeet. Her debut novel, &lt;i&gt;One Imperfect Christmas&lt;/i&gt;, is a September 2009 release from Abingdon Press. She also writes for Barbour Publishing’s Heartsong Presents line. &lt;i&gt;Autumn Rains&lt;/i&gt;, winner of the 2005 RWA Golden Heart for Best Inspirational Romance Manuscript, releases October 2009, soon to be followed by &lt;i&gt;Romance by the Book&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Where the Dogwoods Bloom&lt;/i&gt;.
	
Myra’s writing career was launched in 1985 when she sold her first short story while taking a course through the Institute of Children’s Literature. Myra later joined the ICL staff as a magazine writing instructor, teaching hundreds of students the fundamentals of story and article structure, plotting, character development, and market analysis. She now writes full-time and is active in her church as well as local and national writers groups. Myra and her husband, Jack, have been married since 1972. The Johnsons have two married daughters and five grandchildren.
