ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Michael LaBossiere is a gamer/runner from
Maine who went to school in Ohio and ended up a
philosophy professor in Florida.
While acquiring his doctorate in philosophy at Ohio
State University, he earned his ramen noodle money
by writing for
Chaosium, GDW, R.
Talsorian Games, and
TSR. After graduate
school, he became a
philosophy professor at
Florida A&M
University. His first
philosophy book, What
Don't You Know?, was published in 2008. He
continues to write philosophy and gaming material.
He is also a blogger, but these days who isn't?
When not writing, he enjoys running, gaming and
the martial arts. Thanks to a quadriceps tendon tear
in 2009, he was out of running for a while, but
returned to the trails and wrote a book about it, Of
Tendon & Trail. He can be contacted at
ontologist@aol.com.
