Raani York
Author and Executive Assistant

"I started realizing I loved to write when I was quite young. Whenever we had to write an essay in school, I was excited while the other kids groaned. They had trouble filling one page while mine kept exceeding 6-10 pages."


JoAnne Myers
Author and Artist


"My writing has progressed over the years to one poetry book and six fiction books. I am now in the process of turning my detective/mystery: Murder Most Foul into a screenplay."


Harvey Stelman
Author, former singer & retired CEO

"Eventually I turned to writing and found I had a talent for it. I've blogged and the other usual things. My 5-star book on Amazon has been my masterpiece: Eyes Of Emerald has only received wonderful comments."


Tonne Odom
Writer


"I see myself becoming one of the most famous writers of all time. I believe that if I keep my faith in God, my writing and myself, that I can make it to where I really want to be at in life one day. Most people don't believe it, but hard work does pay off in the long run." 



Tammie Painter
Writer, Artist & Beekeeper

 
"I've always enjoyed making up stories, but never really understood you could make a living from it. Prior to jumping into a full-time writing career, I worked as a research assistant in a lab studying the neurochemistry of addiction (a fancy way of saying I got mice high)."

Computer Book Author



Edward Henheffer
Computer Book Author (with electronic telecommunications background)


Eamonn: What is your chosen profession?

Edward: Originally, when I graduated from high school, I wanted to be an accountant! I started university in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It was boring because I decided more pure math is what I was really looking for. A transfer to a math program was disallowed because it was too late in the semester. I quit university, planning an enrollment the following year and went to work in the oil field until that time.


Eamonn: What were the circumstances which led to you becoming involved in this field?

Edward: Prior to entering university in the math program, I enrolled in a summer session of advanced calculus with students who had failed it in their first year. My results were third in a class of twenty. The professor was impressed because I out ranked the other students even though they had taken the course before and I had not. He asked me what I was planning to study. When I told him "a Mathematicians Program" he simply said "don't do that". Imagine my shock! He then went on to tell me that my abilities to work through given equations and to apply those equations in resolving problems was excellent, however, my abilities to actually develop an equation to resolve a problem was not so good, and that in fact is what Mathematicians were tasked to do. He suggested that I take up something in a more practical field such as electronic engineering. This I did, by enrolling in Electronic Telecommunications Technology, again in Calgary. I found I was much more suited to this and stuck to it.


Eamonn: What is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to you (either as a practitioner in your profession or as a human being)?

Edward: I was about 23 years old working at an engineering firm designing electromechanical interfaces for remote supervision/data collection of power substations. My supervisors boss periodically came down to discuss this or that or just general chat. He knew I wanted to travel and work overseas and one day he came down with a newspaper ad; simply saying I should look into it! The ad was from a local telecomm company looking for people to work in Saudi Arabia. I went for an interview and six weeks later with passport in hand I was boarding a plane for Beirut. Because of this one man, 40 some years ago, my international career was launched.


Eamonn: Where do you see the future of (your chosen field) ending up?

Edward: I retired from the above career a number of years ago, but I bore easily, so I started working in a computer repair shop. I was totally amazed at how many computer users have no idea how to properly use a home computer, getting themselves so loaded with garbage that the computer barely runs. So I decided to write about it. I am totally convinced that 75% of all users could benefit from the first book that is now published and 90% can benefit from the next two books to follow within the next year or so.


Eamonn: Is there anything further you would like to say (or another question I should have asked you)?

Edward: The books are aimed at all computer users out there.
