Author Biography

About the Author Doug Lowe lives in sunny Fresno, California (where the motto is "At least it's a dry heat") with his wife Debbie, daughters Rebecca, Sarah, and Bethany, and female Golden Retrievers Nutmeg and Ginger. He works full-time creating outstanding literary works such as Creating Web Pages For Dummies Quick Reference, 2nd Edition, and wonders why he hasn't yet won a Pulitzer Prize or had one of his books made into a movie starring Harrison Ford so that he can retire. Doug really thinks that Harrison Ford would be excellent as the Dummies Man and thinks that John Kilcullen's people should call Harrison's people real soon before someone else steals the idea. In between writing computer books, which leaves about three free hours per month, Doug enjoys golfing and makes it a point to play at least once a decade. Hiking is also a favorite hobby, so much so that Doug really would like to write Backpacking For Dummies but hasn't had the time to write a proposal yet because these computer books just keep coming up. Maybe someday.
