He has written the DEMONSOULED series of sword-and-sorcery novels, and continues to write THE GHOSTS sequence about assassin and spy Caina Amalas, the COMPUTER BEGINNER'S GUIDE series of computer books, and numerous other works.

    • Excellent Introduction to Linux Mint
This is a well-written book that I found to be even better than expected. It is clearly targeted at those of us with limited or even no experience with Linux, but there is additional very helpful information as well that goes beyond the installation and use of Linux Mint, such as an overview of installing and configuring an Apache web server in Chapter 11. The clear explanation on this topic alone was helpful to me in providing a better understanding of the Debian server used by my website hosting company. Linux Mint is probably the most popular Linux distro right now and for good reason. It is very similar to Windows and iOS, but differs just enough to be frustrating at times. In the Linux world most things are free and accessible, but in the Linux world most things are also poorly explained. The author does an excellent job of bridging that gap. In the non-GUI aspects, the gulf between the critical Linux command line and DOS is even greater and Chapter 3 provides a great overview of this topic. The author has also written another book specifically on this complex area which I intend to look at next. I have only one complaint that is not the author's fault. This book is available in eBook format only. As the author states "... almost certainly no paper publisher would (publish a short introductory book like this)...". If that is so, and the author should know, then it is a shame because this short, clear text will provide a useful reference in the future, and in my opinion at least, paper books are much better than eBooks for that purpose. I guess converting to a pdf is the only option. Overall, a very good introduction to Linux and Linux Mint specifically. ... show more

    • First 30% is good newbie Linux Mint information
I liked the plain simple sentences and building block approach to introducing the reader to Linux Mint. That's the first 30% or so of the book. The next 60% or so was more detailed coverage of command line commands, servers, networks, and more complicated than a need to know. What I didn't like was when the author quit fully showing the full command line commands of the commands he was attempting to explain. It is probably all intuitive to some readers, but I eventually was lost and wouldn't know for sure what symbols and letters should be shown in the full commands. You'll have to read the book to see the problem described. It began somewhere after the first 25-30% of the book. Prior to that the command line commands were more fully illustrated. The last 10% of the Linux book describes the author's other fiction eBooks. Hope he is now editing them for errors and typos, but that has nothing to do with his computer books which are well written. ... show more

    • Only 99¢ will show you how to escape the clutches of Microsoft and Windows 10
There is something fishy when a company like Microsoft pushes a new version of Windows at us for free. It makes me worry but hang on, help is on the way ; if you have used Windows, YOU CAN RUN LINUX MINT! Mint is the leading distribution of Linux for PCs and Mint with the Cinnamon Desktop is like Windows 7. Easy to use only better. more powerful than a locomotive. Faster than a speeding bullet. Able to leap Windows 10 in a single bound. Now, since there are differences between Operating Systems, you need a tour guide. You won't find a better guide than Jonathan Moeller. This book is far more straightforward than the "for Dummies" or "The Complete Idiots Guides". Besides, I am neither a dummy nor an idiot and Mr. Moeller doesn't treat you like one. The first part of this book is about how to install Linux Mint with the Cinnamon Desktop. Think of the desktop as the GUI you use to get things done. You zoom around the Cinnamon Desktop with your mouse just like you're used to doing. The second part of the book is devoted introducing the command line and the Linux commands. I want to make it clear that many (most?) users of Mint will never need to use the command line, but Jonathan Moeller explains the use of the commands as well as why you might want to use them. This eBook is a steal. Snap it up! ... show more

    • Easy to Skim Through, Great for Beginners
I have years of LInux experience, and the first and only OS I ever knew for some time was UNIX. So: yes, it's true, this book covers some very basic stuff. So, easy for me to skim through. However, there are some nuggets worth reading for me since I'm new to Debian-Ubuntu derivative Linux. Furthermore, if I were to recommend a book for anyone who is brand new to Linux/UNIX, this would be it. Great book for beginners. It's also easy to read on my iPad -- in particular the illustrations present themselves well. If you're totally new to an area, the worst thing a book can do is leave out simple key bits of information. This book doesn't do that. Sure, many of us will know the obvious -- but not every one will! And for all that: the price is right. ... show more

    • Missing Chapter?!
Overall, the book is a good guide to a newcomer. My complaint is unusual. Chapter 5, Checking Memory and Disk Space is repeated again in the book as Chapter 7. And it appears that a chapter about Permissions (an important topic) mentioned as being covered earlier by a reference in chapter 7, is missing from the book! My assumption is chapter 7 was supposed to be about File Permissions. Maybe the first edition of the book is correct? ... show more
