Merrill Wells's eighth-grade yearbook noted that she wanted to teach college and write books. Although she spent several years after completing an M.B.A. at Indiana University developing business applications, in the end teaching and writing won out. She began her career as an application software developer and then progressed to the systems analyst and finally the project manager roles gaining invaluable experience in business, database design, application design, technical writing, and programming languages. Merrill returned to academia after her classroom experience in training users on the software that her team had developed reignited the urge to teach. For 10 years she was a computer technology faculty member at Red Rocks Community College, where she developed and taught courses in emerging technologies. She is now a professor in the Department of Information Technology and Electronic Commerce in the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver. Other publications include An Introduction to Computers, Introduction to Visual Basic, Programming Logic and Design, Microsoft Access 2002 (Brief, Introductory, and Complete), and Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 (Brief and Introductory), Microsoft Office XP, Volume I, and Microsoft Office XP, Volume II.
