More About the Author

I think I've been writing all my life. I remember telling stories and making up games for my friends as far back as kindergarten. I even started a writing company Scribes Unlimited (with business and writing partner, Paul Kraly) just to be able to write all the time.

After a number of books - a couple of which are listed here - I decided to pursure my first love as a writer - writing fiction. I found a small publishing house willing to take a chance on offering me a tradtional writing contract - Strategic Book Group, part of AEG Publishing - and here is my debut novel, Exiles of Dal Ryeas.

I went to Ohio Wesleyan University for my undergraduate double major in Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Studies (formerly known as Pre-Modern Studies, but they thankfully changed the name so I didn't have to major in PMS) and Humanities/Classics. I received an MLS from the University of Pittsburgh.

I've done archaeology, worked in offices, owned my own editing research and wrting company, travelled quite a lot and always come back to my first love, writing stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written at Three Levels: User, Fan and Pro, May 12, 2005
This review is from: The Savvy Guide To Digital Photography (Paperback)
This book is a broad, generalized overview of everything there is to know about digital photography. It is intended for the person just getting started (re the chapter on selecting the camera), to doing funny things with the camera (that is, beyond point and shoot, things like aperture and exposure), there's guidance on things like lighting and composition that's not too different than similar chapters on film cameras. Of course, then there are several chapters on the digital darkroom and what you can do with various software packages and how to create special effects.

Each of these subjects are treated at three levels, what the authors call Savvy User, Savvy Fan, and Savvy Pro. It's quite a good overview. The Savvy User level information is pretty basic. The hints for the Pro quite good if the Pro isn't yet experienced with digitals.

This review is from: The Savvy Guide To Digital Photography (Paperback)
This book has good advice and for digital camera users at three different levels, from beginner to advanced. What I really like about this book is that it covers just about everthing you need to know if you just starting out. It also has great advice on what equipment and techniques to use if you are a more advanced user.
