I'll third the request for some fiction.
What I have always liked about his stories is how they hit home with me, even ones that I can't completely identify with yet. (I have no kids so I can't say I know what it's like to rock out to 80s synth while they disparage my choice in music... but I will someday and will probably tell them to get off my proverbial lawn.) It's to the point where I almost tell the stories to other people like they're mine. "One time, in the late 70s, I was in KMart, and I bought a Lando action figure instead of saving money for a Millennium Falcon... No, wait, it was KMart in 1993 and I bought a ST:DS9 figure when I should have bought Data from TNG..."
Wil's good people. It's a short book but worth it. And after reading his other stories about his family I love knowing who gave him his first D&D set. It's awesome.
