Terry Lynne Hale is an author and freelance writer with a passion for, well, a lot of things! She is passionate about reading, writing, the Internet, family, friends, pets, vibrant health, the environment, wildlife preservation, protecting 2nd amendment rights, and death with dignity-to name some passions.
Her first book, Ageless Internet – Internet Basics for Boomers and Seniors, won the 2012 Indie Excellence Award in its genre.
This year she self-published The Straightforward Internet – Your Simplified Guide to Exploring Everything from Basics to Social Media to the Deep Web, geared for Gen-Exers and everyone else who’s been reluctant to embrace all that the digital universe offers. The Straightforward Internet earned her Indie Reader Approved status with a 4 star review.
Hale became interested in alternative health and optimal nutrition when she embarked on self-employment in 2001. In addition to freelancing, she became a wellness consultant and has voraciously studied the work of many doctors, authors, nutritionists, and scientists since. Her calling has revolved around helping, and sharing information that benefits others.
Hale lives in Kansas City with her husband and their extremely willful cat, Stinker. Her 3rd book, Interview 2017, is scheduled to be published later this summer.

The Straightforward Internet
Did you know the average human attention span is 8 seconds? Did you know it was 12 seconds in Y2K? Did you know that a goldfish has a longer attention span by one second? Great Scott!
The Straightforward Internet is an easy-going read, intended for the Gen-Xer – formerly reluctant to accept the Internet but now knows it’s here to stay – AND the technologically competent Gen-Xer who grasps the fluid landscape of the Digital Universe and wants to keep up with it! And this book is intended for anyone else who falls into one of these categories.
The Straightforward Internet covers a lot in a few pages (that attention span thing..)
Are you looking for Basics like:
* Internet, and device (desktop/laptop/smart phone/tablet) basics?
* differences between DSL, Satellite, Wi-Fi or 4G?
* how to spot and avoid scams?
* how viruses spread and how to protect your identity from thieves?
* Instant Messaging, and emails that disappear?
Are you fascinated by Intermediate subjects like:
* social media and dating sites?
* Internet auctions?
* photo, and media sites?
* cloud storage, and zip utilities?
* the naughty side of social media, illegal auctions, and shock sites?
Are you intrigued about Advanced information like:
* Easter Egg Hunts?
* catfishing?
* Virtual Private Networks (VPN)?
* the Darknet Marketplace?
* the economics of Bitcoins and how to use?
You’ll get answers to these topics and more in The Straightforward Internet.
If you are one of the millions that appreciated the film Back to the Future, you will enjoy the friendly, easy-going writing style of this author. Join her on a cyberspace exploration (with occasional reflection on the experiences of Marty & Doc.)
