About The Author

Jerry Weis

Jerry is an award-winning author who made it into Time magazineâ€™s 2013 issue of 100 most influential people. (Well, sort of. The award was for perfect attendance in kindergarten, and his letter to Timeâ€™s editor got published in that issue.) He has a wife and two teenaged daughters, who lovingly put up with his tall tales and bad jokes. When not gaming, writing, hanging with his family, or working on some other project, Jerry enjoys talking about himself in the third person. ;) (Shameless plug: you can download some of his books for free at his website)
