About the author

Lillie Ammann always dreamed of writing “someday.” A devastating stroke made her realize she didn’t know how many “somedays” she had. As soon as she was physically able, she started writing. In 1996, she sold her interior landscape company to a large national corporation and started her new career as a freelance writer and editor. Her most recent book is a book of 90 devotionals: Finding God in the Everyday. Her published fiction includes Dream or Destiny a romantic mystery; Stroke of Luck, a contemporary romance featuring a handicapped heroine; Fern's Fancies, a humorous contemporary romance; Trapped By Love, a contemporary romance novellette. She has also written several short how-to ebooks. She edited and compiled a collection of anecdotes and stories about her husband Jack. Lillie is widowed and lives in San Antonio, Texas. She edits manuscripts and helps independent authors publish their books, and she blogs at A Writer’s Words, An Editor’s Eye.

[Lillie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Often people spend way too much time and effort trying to find the information they want. I have included tips for research, case studies of different types of research (both personal and business), and dozens of Web sites to find specific kinds of information. Even someone who knows how to find information already will benefit from the resource list of reference Web sites.
