About the Authors

Lynn Beighley has been a computer book author for a very long time, and this is her twelfth book. She's written about SQL, PHP, Flash, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver, and finds that they all have connections to Drupal. In fact, it's like “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” — she thinks maybe everything is connected to Drupal. Or perhaps Drupal is connected to everything. Either way, she loves it.

Lynn lives in a sleepy New Jersey town, and doesn't know anyone named Tony. She shares her slightly off-kilter 1920s home with her husband, Drew, and an 80-pound lap dog named Wroxton.

Seamus Bellamy has written only one other computer book so far — Joomla! For Dummies — and feels humbled in the face of his coauthor's massive body of work. During the time that Seamus should have been writing books, he instead frittered away his days pursuing a number of tangents — working in the security intelligence community, employed as a pub musician, and as a music and tech journalist. Most recently, His work can be found in on a regular basis in Mac|Life Magazine, Maximum PC, as well as online.

Seamus currently lives in Victoria, Canada. Like Lynn, Seamus knows no one named Tony. That said, during the late 1990s he did briefly share a house in Halifax with a fiddler named Anthony who ate nothing but fish sticks and ice cream for close to a year. That, however, is a story for another day.
