Michael Stevens signs FORTUNA

Debut author Michael Stevens, like Peter May with Virtually Dead, examines the impact on-line role-playing games can have on their players in the real world in Fortuna. Jason Lind is addicted to playing “Fortuna,” a game set in Renaissance Florence, not worrying about the consequences of his avatar’s choices, or thinking about the real world value of items in the game’s economy, when he discovers the game has an impact on the real world. Meet Michael on Friday, June 4, at 7:00 PM.
