at The Penguin Coffee, 22nd St. and
Commercial Avenue in Anacortes, WA,
“Gateway to the San Juan Islands”,
and publishing it on Lulu.com, the online
marketplace for digital content.
Ms. Bowe seized the opportunity to use her coffee wake-up time
to not only compose, but also to edit and e-publish,
some of her large collection of digital photos,
a book on THE ENCHANTRESS: TUG OF WAR & PEACE,
and even a book on quantum physics
she wrote for her online PhD course at
Walden University in Education & Leadership, Self-Designed.

Andi Comments: “We live in an
age when individuals are strapped for time,
due to work and family commitments,
and this can often stifle time spent creatively.
Using wireless access and my MacBook Pro laptop,
and with almost seven years of experience using
Apple editing software at communitytv.org,
a community access station in Santa Cruz, CA, I was able to publish
my books very quickly, once I set my mind to it!”
The books took her 2 short weeks to publish.
Ms. Bowe says:
“Only a few years ago I would have had it hard t
trying to find both the
time and the publisher to enable me to create this book.
Thanks to my MacBook Pro and Lulu I am now proud to be a published author.”
