R.A. Salvatore


Those of you who have known me for awhile now know about my good friend and long time roommate from my single days Ken (on the left).  Long ago Ken and I used to play an online computer game called EverQuest together.  We wasted many hours leveling our characters up and meeting people from all over the world.  At some point during our countless gaming sessions we ran into Bob Salvatore (right).  An extremely nice guy and fan of the game we all quickly became friends and had a lot of fun running through imaginary corridors of dungeons with names like Runneye Citadel and Unrest.  

Like the rest of us, Bob had a day job, mainly to support his EverQuest addiction of course.  He liked to write books.  A LOT of books.  When I say a lot I mean he has published more books than Stephen King, think 50+ .  R.A. Salvatore Biography

Well my good friend Ken got a chance to finally meet him in flesh a few days ago.  He took a road trip to Chicago and got to shake hands with the man himself.  Did I mention that Bob named a character in one of his books after Ken's EverQuest character Tred Dingwater?  

He promises to come to KC next year so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that we can get a chance to take him out and show him a night on the town while he is here.
