A little treat in the mail yesterday ...

I came home from work yesterday to find a package at my door. A box. A wonderful little box. I peeled it open, as you do with boxes -- a box can be labeled "Your Death Within" and you'd still open it; so would I -- and found inside a treat. A wonderful little treat. It was this:

Yes, that is Geek Wisdom, brainchild of award-winning editor Stephen Segal and a book to which I am proud to say I contributed. I and a team of other writers wrote some really great geek stuff, brief essays on video games and J.R.R. Tolkien and Star Wars and The Goonies and a million other great things -- and now here it is! In a cool as hell hardcover! For cheap! And on Kindle and other devices!

The book is officially out on August 2.

So that's pretty cool. I hope it does well. For you folks in the NJ/NY/PA area, I'll be taking part in a meet n' greet/signing in a couple of weeks to help support it. Will post details later. Hope to see you there.
