I have been working in the computer industry for 24 years and have been writing for about 12 of those years - mostly books about computers and technology. I have a degree in literature and biology from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I work and live in Huntsville, Alabama as a consultant, trainer, and writer.
I've written or co-written around 30 books. All of them were fun to work on; a few have even won awards. My work focuses mostly on things Microsoft, including operating systems, applications, networking, and general technology. In addition to books, I also write articles, white papers, marketing papers, online technical resources, presentations, and things like that. For some of that work, I also do document design and layout.
My recent books include several official Microsoft certification Training Kits on things like Windows Small Business Server 2008, Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and Windows XP Professional. I've also written books on Outlook and Word for O'Reilly, on networking for Linksys, and on several other products.
