that weekend, I found myself sitting across from Tim Bogan at a bare rock cafe, completely overdressed in Dockers and polo shirt arms, still in a sling, ignoring my roast beef and cheddar as I laughed by a way through an interview, unable to conceal my giddiness. We hit it off immediately, and the more he described the situation, the more I felt as if I'd stumbled into a dream. I was a 24 year old grad school dropout who once dreamed of writing for Nintendo power in the process of winning a job writing strategy. Guides from home Pinch Me, I thought. Tim had recently moved to North Carolina after working in Sony's California offices following the PlayStation launch. In addition to parlaying the Sony gig into an annual contract with market leading strategy guide publisher Brady Games, he headed east with a steady stream of writing assignments for I, G N daily radar, GameSpot and Games by, as well as the company that handled the scripting of 1 900 tip lines. He had too much of a good thing going. The dot coms kept him too busy, and he wasn't one to leave money on the table. That's where I came in. To know Tim is to understand that behind the mischievous smile and beneath the ever present baseball cap is the mind of a man who knows how to hustle. I go on to work with numerous people during my career, including at least a dozen other authors, but none could match Tim's brute force work ethic. He was hungry, always keeping one eye on the day's task, the other hunting for tomorrow's opportunity. And that meant passing along some online gigs to a few lucky newbies and reaping a cut off the top.
