ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

NANCY C. HANGER is a freelance writer and editor who was diagnosed with lupus-related syndromes in the early 1990s after more than two decades of seeking a diagnosis. She is the coauthor of Essential Business Tactics for the Net and a columnist for BYTE.com and WIRED News. Her freelance business, Windhaven Press, handles book editing and production for most of the major New York publishing houses. She lives in New Hampshire with three cats, one husband, and over ten thousand books in a 150-year-old farmhouse--give or take a few decades. She hopes to have her house/barn rennovations completed before the next century.

Before you go copying any text or images from this site, remember that we authors are a sorry, poor lot and are the lowest paid white-collar workers in the world. No lie. If you steal words from us, our family goes hungry. I'm not kidding. I earn my living by selling copies of my book, and even then my publisher makes oodles more money than I do from every copy sold. So go buy a book -- buy two, they're small. They make great gifts. Your mom wants one. Really.
