My Interview with Gears of War 4 Strategy Guide Writer Doug Walsh

October 19, 2016 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

Doug Walsh

At last summer’s PNWA writing conference here in Seattle, I found myself at dinner sitting next to Doug Walsh, a fellow writer who, like me, is also a gamer. Unlike me, he’s combined those two interests and has written official game guides for such popular games as Diablo 3, Saint’s Row IV, and the entire Bioshock series, among many others. (He’s also taller than me, has more hair, and looks vaguely like Patrick Dempsey, but massive envy aside, I liked him anyway.)

Being the self-serving guy that I am, I naturally asked him if he’d let me interview him for Geek Notes, and being the swell guy that he is, not only did he say yes, but he’s running a giveaway for some hardcopies of his newer guides. But more on that giveaway later. For now, meet Doug Walsh! [Read more…]

Missing an opportunity to win free stuff?

Hey everyone! Did you know I sometimes hold giveaways for sci-fi/fantasy books and other cool stuff? If not, that’s probably because you’re not subscribed to my Geek Notes mailing list! (That, or you are subscribed but the Men in Black have erased the emails from your inbox in order to protect you from the Great Secret that lives in your linen closet, which you did not hear about from me.)

Geek Notes Giveaway #1 Winners

May 13, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

As those of you who’ve subscribed to my website mailing list already know, last week saw the first Geek Notes Giveaway contest. Only subscribers to the mailing list were eligible to enter, and I’m pleased to say that the winners were chosen last weekend. Congratulations to Mike and Joseph (winners of an e-copy of J.M. Guillen’s Rationality Zero), Linda and Herb (winners of an e-copy of Kenneth G. Bennett’s Exodus 2022), and Mary (winner of an autographed paperback of Exodus 2022)!

And yes, they have last names, but I mean it when I say that information given when subscribing to the list is not given out. In fact, some of them I don’t even know last names for myself…

Of course, since this was giveaway #1, that must mean that there will be a giveaway #2! (‘Cause I’m logical like that. I mean, ya know, sometimes.) Want to be eligible for the next giveaway? Be sure to sign up for the Geek Notes newsletter mailing list. You’ll even get a free copy of Mythed Connections right off the bat!
