Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve been in touch, but I have been busy bringing a new character to life. Meet The President...
President George Roman looked at the cell phone and counted the rings. One. Two. Three. Without pleasantries, the President started the conversation
“I don’t want, or need, anymore issues. The Colonel is gone but he could still mess up this deal so make sure there are no loose ends.”
“Yessir”
“And please know that your hard work over the years will be greatly rewarded… what do you say to re-location to the Virgin Islands?”
The President’s aide, Nancy Tremor, entered the room right at that moment with an arm load of papers, but was soon ordered out with the customary wave of the hand. As she left hurriedly, she heard the President chuckle with whoever was on the other line and the disdain and distaste she had for her boss was etched on her face. But what could she do? It was what she had signed up for and, if The President’s plan succeeded, she was going to be The President’s aide for many more years to come. But as her friend and confidante, Colonel Tate, had said many times before she was in the place and position for change.

Hey folks!
"It’s All Fun and Games is as much a nostalgia trip for grownup gamers as it is a gateway drug for the next generation. The pop-culture references bridge the gap between geek parents and their kids. Dave Barrett writes with all the joy and love of a nerd who runs games for his kids—while cracking Dad Jokes. The result is a rollicking good portal fantasy starting with boffer swords instead of d20s." - Dave Gross, author of Lord of Runes
"It’s All fun and Games is one of those rare books that makes you wonder if around every corner magic and adventure await. Kids and adults alike will find themselves swept away into the world Mr. Barrett has created." — Shannon Mayer, USA Today Best-selling author of the Rylee Adamson series
"It’s fun and exciting to get lost in a fantasy world while roleplaying. It’s All Fun And Games shows that getting lost in one for real might not be as fun, but it’s no less exciting!" — Jon Verrall, co-creator of hit Geek & Sundry web series LARPs
In other news, the edit and design work is pretty well done, so next step is off to the printer - probably some time late next week - and then about a month and a half for manufacturing and shipping back to the warehouse. We’re right on target for backers to get their books mid-July, with the e-books coming out a little it before.
Don’t forget you can follow the book and me on Facebook and Twitter!
Again, thanks for all your support. It means the world to me!
Cheers
Dave
