Attack! Boss! Cheat Code! A Gamer’s Alphabet — written by me, with illustrations by Joey Spiotto — will be published this fall. It’s pretty obvious what letters A, B, and C are for, but what about the rest of the alphabet?
Our publisher, POW!, will be giving away one advance copy of the book for every letter between D and Z. How do you win one of those copies? Just guess correctly what one of those letters stands for.
We’ll continue today with H. In Attack! Boss! Cheat Code! A Gamer’s Alphabet, what gaming term is represented by H? As a clue, here’s a bit of Joey’s art for that letter:
H is for … ?
You can share your guess in the comments of this post, or via email, or by tweeting at me. Then POW! and I will draw one correct guess at random and get in touch with the random-correct-guesser for mailing info.
Tomorrow, we’ll start taking your guesses for the advance copy we’re giving away for I, and so on until we get to Z. Good luck!

Illustrator Joey Spiotto designed a series of Little Golden Books-style covers inspired by some of the most beloved pop culture properties.
SlashFilm.com reports that Spiotto drew inspiration from Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, A Clockwork Orange, and more for this project. According to Spiotto’s Facebook announcement, Gallery 1988 East will host an art show to display 50 of his pieces. ”Storytime: A Little Gallery Show“ will run from August 1st to August 16th.
Children’s books fans went crazy when a similarly-themed art show turned up last year at the “Little Golden Tales” exhibit. Artist Matt Reedy was inspired by manga for his “Little Golden Books” art series. Which adult stories, video shows, TV shows, or movies would you want to see as a Little Golden Book?

Coming in October — written by me, illustrated by Joey Spiotto, and published by POW!
As I worked on my forthcoming picture book Attack! Boss! Cheat Code! A Gamer’s Alphabet — which will be published by POW! this October, with illustrations by Joey Spiotto — I was struck by similarities between adults who have tied their love of video games into their careers and those who create books for children and young adults.
Among those in the gamer camp that I’ve spoken with, or read essays by, or listened to interviews of, or just followed on Twitter, I’ve noticed a lot of the same passion for creativity, thoughtfulness about their audience, and concern for diversity within (and represented by) their field that I’ve long seen among other children’s authors and illustrators.
There’s been some crossover — video games playing roles in fictional stories, children’s books being reimagined in digital form, individuals I know who have worked in both fields — but I wanted to see more.
That’s what inspired me to begin this “Games & Books & Q&A” series of simple interviews with authors/illustrators about their gaming experiences, and with gaming folks about their reading tastes while growing up. I think these will be enlightening and fun, and I hope you enjoy the parallels and cross-pollination between the two fields.
Let’s get started with middle-grade novelist Greg Pincus and Carly Kocurek, who teaches college courses in game studies and game design. I’ll continue next week with Tracy W. Bush, who composes music for video games, and YA novelist Tanita S. Davis.
And if there’s anyone in either camp that you’d love to see me feature in upcoming posts in this series, please drop me a line or tweet at me or just leave a message in the comments.
Lots of parents I know are mystified by their children’s appetite for watching gaming videos online. And lots of kids I know are mystified by their parents’ mystification.
These videos are such a key part of gaming culture that Joey Spiotto and I included a nod to them in Attack! Boss! Cheat Code! A Gamer’s Alphabet, coming from POW! this October. But for a more scientific documentation of the phenomenon, have a look at Tubefilter’s new list of the Top 100 Most Viewed YouTube Gaming Channels in the World:
Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg’s PewDiePie channel is obviously at the top of the inaugural Top 100 YouTube Gaming Channel Charts. The 24-year-old Swedish online video gamer scored an unbelievable 311.2 million views in the month of May. That’s a month-over-month increase of 5% and roughly equates to more than 120 views per second during the 31 days of the month.
…and I feel just like this kid:
What’s all the excitement about? To find out, you’ll have to see the “U is for…” page when my next book — illustrated by Joey Spiotto — is published this October by POW!
