Review "I love this book! We're buying copies for wedding presents." - Holly, Winterhaven, Florida "I bought six copies! For my wife, my kids, my pastor and a friend." - Russell, Overland Park, Kansas Read more About the Author Christy Howard co-authored her first book, The Environmental Due Diligence Handbook, as a young lawyer. It wasn't exactly the type of book she had dreamed of writing! After starting her career as an attorney, she migrated to various corporate strategic positions and served on the executive committee of a global humanitarian organization (a favorite experience). Throughout her diverse career, Howard wanted to write an inspirational book to touch people's hearts. During conversations with Annie Presley, the women realized that they had experienced very different outcomes when faced with their mothers' mortality. Howard's mother has survived decades battling a rare disease, and along the way organized a file with financial information, family history and her final wishes. Howard felt blessed with this compilation in stark comparison to Presley's lack of information about Presley's mother who did not survive. Thus, they joined forces to create Read This...When I'm Dead to provide a friendly, upbeat guide for others. After Read This...When I'm Dead received a 2015 Living Now book award, the women realized that the Read This... series would be a great tool to engage, educate, and inspire people to capture life's treasures and thus, the Read This Gurus were born. Their second book, Read This...on Our Anniversary, is designed for couples to fill it out to celebrate fun memories and capture changes in their life together - with a goal of building a long, happy life together. When Howard isn't writing or spending time with her husband and daughter, she often finds herself helping friends and family organize - closets, drawers, kitchen cabinets. She and her husband realized early on that he was the "cleaner" and she was the "organizer" (a trait their daughter definitely inherited). The Read This... series has allowed Howard to achieve her dream of writing books to inspire and touch peoples' hearts, and the style enables her to use those crazy organizational skills. Her own closets and drawers are, however, starting to become a bit cluttered as she focuses on the Read This... series. Howard is available for public speaking appearances.
