Do you like game stores, comics, and rampant geekery? Do you like supporting family businesses? Do you have people you need to buy things for this holiday season? ‘Course you do.

Come join me at Villains & Heroes Academy in Bolingbrook, your friendly local game store and alternative education program for brilliant geeklings ready to take over the world! I’ll be doing a book signing from 1-3 pm Saturday, November 25, with copies of The Nine for sale. While you’re there, take that list you’ve made, check it twice, and load up on the games, comics, and collectibles the geeks you love are hungering for — or maybe just treat yourself!
