I blog, I write books and I love the experience of writing. Therefore, I write almost every day and I am lucky that I can afford to do this without the need for a daily 9 to 5 job.

I write when I feel that I have something to say. Luckily, this happens quite often. I write when I want to help others. I'm lucky that many of the things I know and learn are useful to others. My blog posts alone are read by hundreds each day.

10 years ago I had no idea I would be writing blogs posts, let alone books. Yet, here I am today, trying to start a conversation with you, through what I write. I hope you'll enjoy my books and that you will come back for more.

I love it when people write back, so if you have anything that you would like to share with me, don't hesitate to get in touch.

I picked this book up as I knew I had to make the move to Windows 8 sooner rather than later. It's not that I wanted to rush into it like I did when Windows 7 came out, instead it was a business need as I have to keep up the latest technology.

I went to Windows 8 at home and then at work as I read this book. This book was much larger and detailed than I needed as I've been using Windows since version 3. I was able to make my way through the book quickly and glean the relevant information I needed to get me up to speed on what changed in Windows 8.

The book is loaded with screen shots and is very detailed in the explanations of how everything works. In spite of the level of detail, it's surprisingly easy to read and is not dry and complicated.

Whether you are a brand new user or a Windows veteran you will be able to get a lot of out of this book.
