Bowker Biography:
Vivian Owens

 

Vivian Owens wrote the book, NADANDA THE WORDMAKER, and it won a Writer’s Digest Award. Her new book, HOW OSWA CAME TO OWN ALL MUSIC, arrives after several years of telling the story to hundreds of school children. In OSWA, the author departs from her usual storytelling process and writes in lyrical form. She says she hopes the story will make for easier reading and listening for younger readers. As Oswa dances his way across the universe, his heroism emerges in spontaneous courage while he defies seen and unseen dangers. What wins readers’ hearts is the gentleness pouring from this hero’s soul.

Owens is at her best motivating and inspiring readers. She writes youth literature and educational books. A former high school Chemistry teacher, Vivian simultaneously developed Parenting For Education Workshops and the Parenting For Education (PFE) book because of her concern for younger children, while still teaching. At the start of her writing career, she produced and hosted Parenting For Education as a local radio program and followed this with a newspaper column that eventually reached readers of over 200 newspapers over the course of several years. Currently, her PFE columns appear regularly with blackgrandparents.com. Her magazine articles have been published by Upscale Magazine, About...Time Magazine, The Virginia Science Journal, and other publications.

To her surprise, she found herself writing a history book, after the death of her father. The book, THE MOUNT DORANS: African American History Notes of a Florida Town, met with enthusiasm from local politicians, long time residents, and scholars across the State and country.
For the book’s debut, Vivian Owens signed books in Mount Dora, Florida. However, most readers are more familiar with her youth literature books or the educational books.

Books by Owens take the author on many journeys, and she enjoys meeting people and reading fan mail. For more information on Vivian Owens’s speaking availabilty, please visit author-illustrator.com.
