It’s mostly sunny, the radio is playing, and I’m writing about Ubuntu, a human-friendly version of Linux, an alternative operating system to Windows.

Awhile ago, I wrote about submitting Lifeliner to Mini Book Expo.

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve joined AuthorNation, a place for authors, writers, poets, and their readers. I’ve already received a warm welcome from community members, and I like what it offers.
