Greetings from the endlessly damp but occasionally magical shores of Wales! Yep, that's where I call home. Ever wondered where dragons go for a vacation? Well, sometimes they drop by our hills. And the weather? Let's just say it's a never-ending topic, mostly because it's always raining.

In my attempts to dodge the Welsh drizzle (an art form, really), I've written a bunch of stuff. Helpful guides like A Simpler Guide to Gmail and A Simpler Guide to Calibre. I love helping people, but my heart yearns for the stuff you can't quite see—magic blending with reality, ancient ghosts whispering secrets through time, strange colonies in outer space. My stories, like Children of the Elementi and Accidental Immortal, are all about wild adventures, occasional dragon mishaps, and a fair bit of peril thrown in for good measure.

And if you're into ghostly romances, I've dipped my toes into those shadowy waters too. Check out Whispers of the Past for a taste of love beyond the grave. Spectres, romance... you get the picture!

If puzzles are your jam, then I've got some treats for you. I tend to make educational puzzle books about historical periods because, well, history fascinates me. I've created variety puzzle books about the Ancient Greeks, to the terrifying Tudors. They are so fun to make and I hope you enjoy solving them!

In my day-to-day, when I'm not scribbling or dodging raindrops, I escape into the fantastical worlds spun by fellow fantasy and sci-fi wordsmiths. Plus, there's the occasional movie binge—got to keep things balanced, right? There's something utterly delightful about a hot cuppa and a story that whisks you off to galaxies far away or ancient lands lost in time. Yep, I'm a geek.

So, fancy joining me on this whirlwind adventure? Grab a cuppa, cosy up, and let's dive into the magic together.

Catch you in the pages,

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a beginner and anyone intimidated by the Calibre documentation

    Did you try to read the Calibre documentation and felt like your head was going to explode? Then this book is for you. While Kovid Goyal (the Calibre creator) does an excellent job of documenting the program, it is too much for a beginner. I had been using calibre for years but I really didn't know how to use it properly. Now I do. I also finally got through the Calibre manual. It made so much more sense. This is a very well written and easy to follow guide for the beginner to intermediate user. For the more advanced tasks, you will still have to read the calibre documentation, but it will be so much easier after reading this book.

    I had given up on Calibre until I got a copy of this book from the author. Complete with detailed instructions and step-by-step pictures, Clark carefully explained the processes as well as the many things you can do with Calibre.

    HIGHLY recommended.

    Calibre is an amazing tool. If you have a lot of ebooks, this is the best way to catalog them, convert them, edit them and more
    This book will explain it all clearly and concissely.

    Amazon has lousy software for managing your books for Kindle. They know it and don't fix it. Tried this. You have to really need/want to do an elaborate job of organizing to warrant the use of this software which is not particularly user friendly.
