Brian Francis is the Technical Sales Director for NCR's Web Kiosk Solutions.

When not working on writing, you can usually find Brian relaxing at the 19th hole after a round of golf.

Alex Homer is a software developer and technical author living and working in the idyllic rural surroundings of the Derbyshire Dales, in the heart of England. Rather than doing a real job, he's discovered the raw excitement and frustration that comes with installing and playing with the latest and flakiest beta code he can find - and then he writes about it.

Karli Watson is an in-house author for Wrox Press with a penchant for multi-colored clothing. He started out with the intention of becoming a world famous nanotechnologist, so perhaps one day you might recognize his name as he receives a Nobel Prize.

He can often be found preaching about these technologies at conferences, as well as after hours in drinking establishments. Karli is also a snowboarding enthusiast, and wishes he had a cat.
