About this author

I'm an author and game designer and happily married father of five, including a set of quadruplets. For more on my work, see Forbeck.com.

Robin asked me to contribute to a couple of his upcoming anthologies, and I jumped at the chance to work with him again. The covers for the two books I’m involved with were just released today.

description: I launched a Kickstarter drive for the latest trilogy in my 12 for '12 plan to write a novel for each month this year. The latest set is called Dangerous Games, and it's a trio of thrillers set at Gen Con, the largest tabletop gaming convention in this part of the world.

Matt Forbeck's Brave New World by Matt Forbeck

Carpathia by Matt Forbeck
" Matt Forbeck is a prolific and talented writer who I have had the great pleasure of meeting. Carpathia is a quick read, but thoroughly enjoyable as Matt makes Vampires scary again.

"

Stefanie is on page 102 of 384 of Ghosts of Ascalon: It's not a literary masterpiece by far, but Guild Wars is chock-full of interesting, well-thought out lore, bleeding through every page. So far, it's a page-turner and promising to be a light but very satisfying book.
