Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress is a smart, humorous examination of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game from a female gamer's point of view. The book delves into the myths and realities of gamer stereotypes. It explains how to build a character for a D&D game, how to shop for gear, how to play, and how to find the perfect gaming group, all the while exploring the things that make the D&D game a rewarding and recurring social experience for both men and women.
SHELLY MAZZANOBLE has written short stories and essays for The Seattle Times, Carve, Whetstone, Skirt! and SomeOtherMagazine.com. Her plays have been produced in Seattle and New York City. When not over-editing her collection of short stories, she enjoys watching HGTV, walking dogs, and designing clothes for D&D minis. She lives in Seattle.

Chase, who has been working with Wizards of the Coast for eight years, has seen an increase in the number of girls attending gaming tournaments and conventions and purchasing the games. The shift has even prompted Wizards of the Coast associate brand manager Shelly Mazzanoble to write a gaming handbook titled "Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress: A Girl's Guide to the D & D Game." The book will be released in September.
