Fantasy Freaks & Gaming Geeks Book Tour

[Tav_Behemoth]

Ethan Gilsdorf, notable for his book Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks (which recently got a great review at Grognardia) as well as his blogs at Tor and Psychology Today, left a comment to my post about D&D in Contemporary Art at The Mule Abides:

I was excited to hear about all this D&D-related art activity in the NY area, and was sorry to miss the discussion and show. I live in Boston. But as it turns out, I'm part of a similar event: a Nov 22 geek-out event at Word Books in Brooklyn called “Of Wizards and Wookiees: A Panel Discussion on Gaming & Fandom." I thought you all might be interested.

The event features the author of FANTASY FREAKS AND GAMING GEEKS: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms (Lyons Press, now out in paperback) -- that's me --- teaming up with another author, Tony Pacitti, author of MY BEST FRIEND IS A WOOKIEE: One Boy's Journey to Find His Place in the Galaxy (Adams Media), to discuss our coming-of-age tales set against the backdrop of Star Wars and Dungeons & Dragons obsessions.

I will definitely be checking this out and would love to to see some other NYC-area EN Worlders there! More info is here.
