Meet the Author

Wil Wheaton's successful acting career began in 1986 with acclaimed roles in Stand By Me and Toy Soldiers. He continued to build his resume through his teen years as series regular ‘Wesley Crusher’ on Star Trek: The Next Generation and opposite Robin Williams in Flubber. But Wil is much more than just an actor; he’s an author, blogger, voice actor, widely-followed original Twitter user, and a champion of geek culture. 

Wil currently splits his time between acting and writing.

As an author, he's published several acclaimed books, including: Just A Geek, Dancing Barefoot, The Happiest Days of Our Lives, and Memories of the Future Volume 1, a humorous and nostalgic episode guide of the first half of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. All of his books grew out of Wil’s immensely popular, award-winning weblog, which he created at WIL WHEATON dot NET and currently maintains at WIL WHEATON dot NET: in Exile.

    Awesome quick read

    I've read Wheaton's writing before, but I'm only familiar with his blog posts and memoirs. This is my first experience with his fiction, and I was not disappointed. This was a great quick read. All the stories were well written and incredibly interesting. Wheaton has a way of writing incredibly compelling and realistic characters that you are able to connect to quickly. I thought this was quite a feat considering the longest story is only a few pages. My favorite story was the titular story, but they are all quite good and quite different. I love that he showcased his talent by writing different stories in different ways. It's definitely worth reading.

    Loved it, mostly because

    it gives me something to read while I wait for his novel. Wheaton is writing a novel, right? Right?
