Pushka,

I think I was just very lucky and made an on-topic suggestion in a thread about listening to various types of music. Subsequently some other high-karma people were kind enough to boost me.

As for myself, I'm actually a technology worker, running my own businesses including;

* Programming (I write OpenSource and commercial software - mostly email filtering centric)
* Electronics design (custom designs and production)
* Model aircraft (a hobby that went into business - not a good idea in hindsight)

... and now of course I'm doing marketing/publishing/media for Elita's career as a novelist.

It's interesting being the partner to an author - living through the highs and lows of their writing process; trying to help them out when things seem impossible. I do very much enjoy it though and it's wonderful, despite being difficult at times, to be engaged in a rather new field.

We were lucky that by the time Elita had finished Tree of Life, the eBook revolution was really moving and print-on-demand services such as Lightning Source Int were accessible.


Just checked my order again, it's still in the "you can change" phase, so you're looking as though you're ahead of me


Paul.
