3. The Class Ceiling by Kerry Fisher - I'm a British author writing funny contemporary romance. My books usually tend to include a wry look at the British class system. The Class Ceiling is about school gate snobbery - think Downton Abbey in a contemporary school setting! I live in Surrey, just south of London and have a teenage son, an eleven-year-old daughter, a very tolerant husband and a naughty Lab/Schnauzer who loves nothing more than to scoff up picnics and run off with other people's remote controlled planes... The Class Ceiling is currently under consideration with a major publisher so exciting times for me and my next novel, The Divorce Domino, won the best opening chapter at the Festival of Writing in York in 2011. I think it was the first line: 'I was wearing the wrong bra for sitting in a police cell.' Thanks for reading!

26. Photo Mastery – Shadows, Form And Texture - I'm Dan Eitreim and I worked as a professional photographer running my own photo studio for over 20 years. I've never apprenticed or worked for any other photographers. Because of this, I've had to learn and develop my photography skills on my own. My first attempts were dismal to say the least...so I studied, practiced and developed my photo skills and along the way I not only learned how to put the "wow" into my photos, but I've also learned how to teach others to do the same! To that end I've compiled a 23 volume series of photo training lessons that I've titled: "On Target Photo Training". I enjoy creating e-books and expect to be developing more!
