Lynn Jordan
After many years of working in Information Technology, founding the Computer User Support Department at the local community college, developing a computer user support course for the Computer Science program and teaching for several years, I’ve left the corporate world to devote time to my first love, writing. I still can’t get away from computers entirely. I answer questions, remove viruses from infected computers, and help my friends and fellow writers use the latest technology. This gives me the opportunity to investigate the latest technological developments and pass the information along. Can’t seem to get away from teaching. I decided to create a place on the web where I can help writers use technology to write and promote faster, better, and with less effort.
