About this author

Based in Southern California, Guido Henkel has been a computer game designer and interactive fiction writer for over 25 years before he decided to try his hand at traditional novelized fiction.

Among the many award-winning games he's worked on as the "Realms of Arkania" series which was the official adaptation of the highly successful German pen&paper role-playing game series "Das Schwarze Auge." However, he has also worked on titles such as "Fallout 2" and "Planescape: Torment," a game based in one of the more extreme and mature AD&D universes.

Guido Henkel is the creator of the gothic horror dime novel series "Jason Dark: Ghost Hunter," which he not only writes but also publishes.
