Her new book, The Savvy Guide to Motorcycles, received a glowing review at About.com.

Shirl is one-of-a-kind. By day she’s a librarian for the government, but on weekends and commutes she’s the Uncaged Librarian. She’s a great writer to boot. If you know anyone who’s hankering to ride, this is the perfect Christmas present.

Congratulations to client Peter Hipson on the publication of Firefox and Thunderbird: Beyond Browsing and Email, from Que. Thanks for working with me, Peter!

From the Amazon listing –

“There’s a new browser in town: Firefox is quickly becoming a leading alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you are new to Firefox and want to see what all the buzz is about, Firefox and Thunderbird: Beyond Browsing and Email is the guide that you need. By focusing on how to configure and customize Firefox and Thunderbird, this book will show you how to quickly get a hold of the less intuitive features that most new users struggle to figure out. You will discover which of Firefox’s many options should be adjusted, which shouldn’t, and how to locate many hidden preferences that will ultimately create a better browsing experience. The author’s tips and tricks will teach you how to adjust the browser’s appearance and behavior, and how to install the most popular extensions to maximize the browser’s performance.”

I’ll add a news page somewhere on my site so I don’t post all new books in the RSS feed, but I will post books here on occasion to let folks know what I’ve been working on.
