From Fred Hicks' own website: Fred Hicks is a dad, a gamer, and a game publisher. He runs Evil Hat Productions, and does freelance art direction and layout work for the occasional other game publisher. The rest of the time, though, he's looking after his kid, and spending time with his wife. Life is good. Fred Hicks goes by the handle "Iago" on the Jim Butcher Forums. According to Jim Butcher: I thought he was insane. Enthusiastically and supportability insane, but INSANE. Turns out he was just a lot more farsighted than me, I guess. :)
