News from Miriam Johnson..."I am a long-time GQHA-er. I most recently had Dipped in Zip and showed with Bret and Candy Parrish. Anyway, when I sold my horse, I moved to England but I had no clue what I was going to end up doing. I did an MA in writing and then went to Oxford to do my MA in publishing and while there I met another American and we set up a publishing/editing company called Jargon Media LLC. A year later, I am living in London, about to move to Edinburgh, Scotland to begin my second year of my PhD in poetry writing and we are about to publish our first book, Royal Amber.
