About the author

I've been a compulsive reader since I was eight years old. It's not uncommon for me to read a book or more a day. I became a fine artist during my hippie days from 1967-71. After graduation from U of Minn, I almost immediately got into publishing, first as an illustrator, then as a graphic designer, then a typographer, art director, instructor, program director, author, font designer, online teacher, self-publisher. All the while I did some art, wrote a lot, and kept myself busy.

My main blog and Website is The Skilled Workman which covers resources for publishing books and ebooks with InDesign, plus training for designing fonts.

These days it's primarily a solid food believers site.

The spiritual blog is
Reality Calling which covers my Christian writing and books, plus the books of authors I represent and/or design for.

I sell my fonts at MyFonts.com for the most part, but also at fonts.com

This was old and horrible. My first attempt when InDEsign first came out. You should read "Writing In InDEsign" or "InDesign On-Demand" instead. They are much better books and current to InDesign CS6 and CS5.5
