For the last few years, I've been a series editor for O'Reilly's Windows Systems Administration titles. I was involved in both acquisition and development of several books. As my interest in that series waned, I started to look for other editorial opportunities working on non-Microsoft oriented books. This summer I met Andy Hunt of the Pragmatic Programmers (he lives nearby in Raleigh) and now I'm working with the Pragmatic Bookshelf.

The first title I edited, Payment Processing with Paypal and Ruby, is now available. The author, Joe Fair, was a pleasure to work with. This short book will be helpful to Ruby programmers looking to integrate Paypal with an existing website.
