Two Books, Two Book Publishers' Awards, 2006 and 2008
International Award-Winning author Bettye Johnson, has just garnered her second Independent Publisher Book Award known as the IPPY Award for her book, Mary Magdalene, Her Legacy. Johnson received an Independent Publisher Book Award in 2006 for her best-selling Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls. The 2008 Independent Publisher Book Awards received 3,175 entries from 49 U.S. states, nine Canadian provinces as well as 16 countries overseas.
Bettye Johnson, a noted authority on the life and times of Mary Magdalene has spent a number of years researching the elusive life of a woman mentioned by name only a few times in the New Testament. Johnson chose to share her research by writing it in the form of fiction in order to have a broad spectrum of readers.
Johnson recently interviewed the director Bruce Burgess and producer Rene Barnett of the documentary film, Bloodline on her www.blogtalkradio.com/bettyejohnson show titled Knowledge Is Power. The documentary is a revelation of an unknown tomb of a mummified body covered by a shroud with a Knights Templar emblem on it. A question has been raised as to the possibility it could reveal information about the lineage of Mary Magdalene and Jesus. The interview has been archived and may be listened to at any time.
Bettye Johnson's background is a tapestry of woven experiences moving from the cotton fields of Texas to being a code clerk with the U.S. State Department Foreign Service with postings to the embassies in Paris and Tokyo. Johnson alleges this was the beginning of her uncommon education. She has been a student at the Ramtha School of Enlightenment, a university of the quantum physics of the mind for over 20 years. Johnson makes her home in Washington state and is currently about to publish her first non-fiction book titled, Awakening the Genie Within.
