Jesse is a published author (or, will be soon)

You may remember that Jesse recently was a finalist in the Paizo "RPG Superstar" contest. Well, through his mad creative talent as displayed during the contest, Jesse was able to secure some freelance writing work from Paizo. He has created six creatures for them, and will receive Real American Dollars in exchange for these creatures. Jesse by nature is modest, and doesn't often talk about his accomplishments. I am not nearly as modest, and love to brag about them. Brag brag brag published author brag brag brag. 

To the left you will see a copy of a cover letter that accompanied one of Jesse's two author contracts (his writing will appear in two different publications, hence the two contracts). Because he is now a published author, getting paid Real American Dollars for his writing (I redacted the contract number and the amount of Real American Dollars, for confidentiality). 

And, this is especially sweet for Jesse, because at one point his father said that nobody would pay Jesse to know "this stuff," meaning role playing games. Heh.
