Mike invited me to his “palatial” suite at Gen Con 2014, and I happily accepted the invite.  It isn’t every day that an aspiring author has the chance to speak with a best selling author about the industry.

Mike and I discussed:

  • His Gen Con seminars
  • The Crusader Road, his first Pathfinder novel
  • Possibility of a second Pathfinder novel
  • His next book
  • His day job

You can find Mike on Twitter.

John Lemke from Indienation.fm chats with Nicole Beach from Cheese Waesel about Con Quest at Gen Con 2014.

Cheese Weasel runs a free to play game at Gen Con that sends players on a quest.  This quest takes players on a journey into the exhibit  hall.  Attendees delve through the crowds, hunting pieces of information to get their map punched (game card).   Every day Cheese Weasel holds drawings for great prizes like a VIG pass for the next year at Gen Con.

 

Nicole is already planning great things for 2015.
