Person
Doug Lowe has written a whole bunch of computer books, including more than 35 For Dummies books, among them Networking For Dummies, 8th Edition, Java All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, PowerPoint 2007 For Dummies, and Word 2007 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. He lives in sunny Fresno, California, where the motto is "Fres-YES!," (unfortunately, I'm not making that up) with his wife, the youngest of his three daughters, and a couple of dogs (a goofy-looking six-month-old Shar-Pei/black Lab mix named Lucy and a yellow Lab named Odie). He's one of those obsessive-compulsive decorating nuts who creates computer-controlled Halloween decorations that rival Disney's Haunted Mansion.
