Mary owns Bughouse Productions and is a "beyond full-time" writer, developer, consultant, Web designer, editor, sometimes instructor, certified MS Word expert, and Internet expert working daily (and nightly) with online technologies. She also recently served as an Instructional Designer and Lead Writer for The Learning Internet (www.learning.com). Mary's educational background is a blend of art, English, journalism, and computer science, which lends itself well to today's constantly morphing computer technology.

In addition to owning Bughouse Productions, Mary has oodles of publishing, design (electronic and print), education, and computer experience, including hands-on experience in the book, magazine, newspaper, courseware, and Web publishing industries.

Mary's most recent computer-related publications include numerous scripts for K-12 educational animations, a high school chemistry screenwriting adventure, educational Web sites, and a collection of books about Web development, Internet browsers, HTML (beginner and advanced), Office applications, online communities and blogging, Web graphics, online auctions, and other Internet, network, application, and design topics.

Among other projects, Mary is currently developing an online wellness program for middle school students called TEACHI (Teens Exploring Avenues in Community Health Information) with OHSU, spearheading the development and growth of the U.S. Paralympic Academy Web site, writing books (as usual!), and working on various other related projects.

Jeff is a highly talented graphic designer, and the owner of ExtraCheese, a multimedia and Web design firm.

Jeff has worked with such companies as Sodexho, ComputerPREP, Educational Management Group, Xerox and Kodak. He has run the gamut of media production by developing Web sites, managing and designing interactive content, creating illustrations and animation and writing, filming and editing video and film.

Jeff also has an amazingly cool telescope that helped spark some ideas for Web site examples in the Easy Web Page Creation and Faster Smarter Web Page Creation books (as you can probably tell if you've thumbed through either of the books).
