Develop Basic Creative Writing Skills & Hone Your Talent Into Writing a Book

Brian JacksonBorn in Los Angeles, California, in the middle of the last century, Brian Jackson has always wanted to be a writer. After twenty-five some odd years spent working in the computer industry in the heart of the Silicon Valley, first for Lockheed as a Systems Programmer and later for Cisco Systems as a test tool developer, Brian managed to retire early and begin his next career as a self-published author.

Along with writing and publishing his own novels, Brian also publishes the works of his wife, Melanie Jackson. During the past four years he has published well over 100 books in paperback and eBook formats. Oddly enough this includes eBooks on how to self-publish books and how to create professional looking book covers using the GIMP. He has also recorded and distributed a pair of audiobooks available for purchase on Amazon and Audible.
