Computer Tips 4 Writers

Welcome!

WHY THIS SITE?

For years I was a computer instructor writing my own lessons so students had the same lessons taught in class to take home to review and study. I encouraged my students to use their new found computer skills to write. Since I always wanted a computer workshop for writers, this Computer Tips 4 Writers is it.

I took my own advice and now write speculative fiction full time instead of part time. My writing consists of many short stories, and the DRAGON'S MARK series. The first novel, The DARKNESS COMES, is complete. The second novel, FYREGON, is a work in progress while the third book, FOO WIZARD, is outlined.
