About the author

Luke Mathius Harlow was born in the United Kingdom, England in the fishing town of Grimsby. He has been writing short fiction stories from a young age whether it be an adaptation of a nursery rhyme, stories with unexpected twists giving the reader a need to read the story again from another perspective, or tales that have only one purpose... to make you smile.

Luke is now focusing on writing for young children.

Luke's debut short story for children is based on a character called Mister Bubble. Mister Bubble is a fun series of modern day fables for 4 - 8 year olds;

"Because you squeezed my bottle and set me free, I will grant you three wishes," Mister Bubble told the children.

"Any three wishes you want. But beware; if the wishes are not kind and good, the wish you make is likely to go wrong!"

Reviewed by Roy T. James for Readers' Favorite

Build your Computer Skills by Luke Mathius Harlow is a book full of useful information about using a PC. This book has an easy to understand step by step approach, suitable both for a beginner and an experienced user. It covers almost all the jobs one may encounter; like Navigating Windows, Manipulating Folders or Documents, USB Devices, Maintenance jobs like Disk De-fragmentation, Computer Safety, Viruses, Computer Hardware, A Glimpse inside the Machine, use of Email, Gmail, Google Search Features, Online Media, Streaming or Google Earth. An Introduction to Binary and other Number Systems used in computers is also provided. A set of test questions for each chapter along with a good index at the end enhance the book’s learning value.

Build your Computer Skills by Luke Mathius Harlow covers almost all the questions an average user might confront while using a PC and provides clear and concise instructions. However a few more situations like Use of Safe Mode, Updating Drivers, Enabling Flash or Changing Display Resolution would have been of great help to a beginner. In addition, certain basic instructions on Internet Commerce, Social Media etc could have enabled readers in acquiring these popular skills which are more or less becoming essential in this arena. This book is, however, notable for its academic approach, clear explanations, easy to remember procedures, and review questions. I think this book should be a welcome assistant for every PC user, more so in the initial days of use.
