C.A. HOUGHTON
Senior Developmental Editor
After being told by her junior college English teacher she’d never understand how to use commas, C.A. Houghton went on to successfully earn her undergraduate degree in English Teaching without needing to demonstrate comma mastery at all. However, there were several times she showed remarkable prowess in the field of semi-colons. Houghton earned a graduate degree in Educational Leadership and Foundations, which gave her more experience in parentheses and left her weary toward ellipses. It was not until her fifteen-year English teaching career when C. A. Houghton was finally able to inflict her comma expertise on unwilling junior high students.
DEENA RAE
Senior Interior Designer
Deena Rae is the Digital Director of The Book Connection and owner of E-BookBuilders. With more than 20 years of being in the background of professional independent publishing, she took the plunge and decided to go full-time in an effort to help move The Book Connection into the e-publishing arena. As a formatter who uses HTML, she has made E-Book Builders the company to depend on for difficult-to-format manuscripts and non-fiction. She's always coming up with new ideas for interior design, so there's a good chance you will be the proud owner of something entirely unique.
