Greetings!My name is J. Ronald Adair. Although I've been a writer most of my professional life, most of that was for employers and customers. I am retired from the technical profession where I had the opportunity to work in almost every aspect of the information technology and telecom/networking fields. After retirement, and being somewhat bored, I turned to my actual first career goal, art. During my IT career, I was able to use my art abilities creating graphic art along with the writing functions. So now, I paint and write, and still use the technical knowledge I acquired over many years. This combination serves me well in the creation of how-to, or educational books. My first book was 'Killer 42' published in 2015. This is a how-to book on the game of dominoes, called '42'. It is here on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. If you want to learn how to play this game at a high level, then this book shows you how. In early 2017, I started my Adult Coloring Books with the 'Master Artists' series. These books incorporate a number of the great masterworks as references to color. I also wrote my social self-help offerings, 'Clueless 101, A Life Manual for Millennials', and 'Embracing Luddism, Stop the Progress, I Want to Get Off!'. These are some fun reads!In late 2018 and early 2019 I added some expense records journals based upon the Master Artists series and the 5 journals in the specialty 'Gadget Book' series (print only).My latest journal is a highly useful life facts thesaurus by the name, 'The Book of Smarts'. This journal is in Kindle format only for now and, as with many of my Kindle offerings, are free for Prime members.In 2019 I started several books for young children education, the 'Book of Smarts for Kids', 'Count my Fingers, Count my Toes' and 'Searching for the ABCs'. These books are intended to help parents and caregivers teach young ones how to count to 10, learn their ABCs and alphabet. The 'Count' book is also available in several translations including Spanish and Italian.Just published my latest book, 'The Book of Smarts For Preppers'. This is a 'how-to' for Preppers, whether new or experienced. Pretty excited over this one as I have some follow-up editions in mind.Best regards!Read more about this authorRead less about this author
