Robert Anthony Salvatore, who writes under the name R. A.
Salvatore, is an American author best known for The
DemonWars Saga, his Forgotten Realms novels, for which he created
the popular character Drizzt Do'Urden, and Vector Prime, the
first novel in the Star Wars: The New Jedi Orderseries. He has
sold more than 15 million copies of his books in the United States
alone and twenty-two of his titles have been New York Times
best-sellers.
Robert Salvatore was born in Leominster, Massachusetts, the
youngest of a family of seven. A graduate of Leominster High
School, Salvatore has credited his high school English teacher with
being instrumental in his development as a writer. During his time
at Fitchburg State College, he became interested in fantasy after
reading J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, given to him
as a Christmas gift. He developed an interest in fantasy and other
literature, promptly changing his major from computer science to
journalism. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Communications/Media from Fitchburg. He earned this degree in 1981
and later a Bachelor of Arts in English. Before taking up writing
full-time, he worked as a bouncer, an experience to which he
attirbutes his fierce and vividly described battle scenes.
In the fall of 1997, his letters, manuscripts, and other
professional papers were donated to the R.A. Salvatore Library at
his alma mater, Fitchburg State University in Fitchburg,
Massachusetts.
"It seems that R.A. Salvatore is everywhere these days. And I love
it!" - Geeks of Doom (about Dungeons & Dragons: The Legend of
Drizzt: Neverwinter Tales #3)
"In the end this book told an exciting story and feels like a great
way to read up on one of the most important characters in D&D.
I actually now feel more inclined to go pick up the book after
reading the comic adaptation just to fill in any gaps that may
exist in the plot. It seems like ideal reading for anyone into
fantasy books or video games set in this type of world, especially
with Dragon Age Inquisition doing the rounds. The art throughout is
of a consistently high standard and really brings the book to life
with its bold colours and detailed characters." - Dave MacPhail,
Big Glasgow Comic.com (on Dungeons & Dragons: The Legend of Drizzt
Volume 1: Homeland)
