Barrett’s first novel debuts at San Diego Comic-Con, BDN reports

The Bangor Daily News reported Dave Barrett, a lecturer in accounting in the Maine Business School, recently promoted his first novel at Comic-Con in San Diego. Barrett’s book, “It’s All Fun and Games,” goes on sale Aug. 2. The young adult fantasy tells the story of a group of high school friends who find themselves transported from their live action role-playing game into a world of magic, adventure and danger. Publisher Inkshares describes the novel as a “pioneer in the sub-genre of live-action role play in fantasy fiction,” according to the article. However, Barrett said he doesn’t consider the novel to be a live-action role play book. “I consider it to be escapist fantasy,” he said. “It’s a fun adventure story. Having the characters start in the LARP was a very seamless way to get them from one world to the other.” The novel can be ordered on Amazon.
