years in the military

skills to a fine edge.
In school, I was one of those
freaky kids who soaked up
everything I read, but I had to
work at it too. I was good at
taking notes and using my
notes to not only cram for

studied. All those skills have
direct application to my
nonfiction writing where I
must research new products
and technologies, master
them at an expert level, and
then teach readers to use
those technologies.
