Ruth L. Snyder was privileged to spend the first 10 years of her life in southern Africa where her parents served as missionaries. From there her family moved to Canada, settling in Three Hills, Alberta. Ruth enjoyed her years as a "staff kid" at Prairie and is grateful for the biblical grounding she received there. She now resides close to Glendon (the pyrogy capital of Alberta, Canada) with her husband and five young children. Ruth enjoys writing articles, devotionals, short stories, and Christian fiction. She is a member of The Word Guild and The Christian PEN. Ruth currently serves as the President of InScribe Christian Writers' Fellowship.
Ruth's children have taught her many things about living with special needs. She is a strong advocate and spent several years serving on the local public school board.
Ruth loves her job teaching Music for Young Children. She is fascinated by children's imaginations and enjoys helping young children learn the basics of music through play.
In her spare time, Ruth enjoys reading, crafts, volunteering in her local community, photography, and travel. Several years ago, Ruth and her family traveled through 28 States in 30 days! Find out more about Ruth and her writing at http://ruthlsnyder.wordpress.com

When I first started out on Twitter, I really didn't see the point. All my friends were on Facebook, so how was this going to work for me? I learned through experience, but you can get a better head start by reading this book. It's very clear and conversational which is perfect for new users. I will look for the second book since I am interested in digging a little deeper into how Twitter works.
I am so grateful for this book. I have been fearful of Twitter and creating "footprints in concrete." Now I have the confidence to give it a go. Thank you. Looking forward to your next book in this series.
Great orientation for writers who'd like to get started on Twitter, with practical, step-by-step instructions complete with screenshots for visual learners. Brief and helpful, with a glossary and list of resources.
Volume 2 will be Learn Twitter: 10 Intermediate Steps.
