R.A. Salvatore was born in Massachusetts in 1959. He is
the New York Times–bestselling author of more than forty
novels, including the popular Forgotten Realms series, The Legend
of Drizzt. His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in
general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was
given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings as a
Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science
to journalism. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the
manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic.
His first published novel was The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988,
and his novel The Silent Bladewon the Origins Award. He is still
best known as the creator of dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden, one of
fantasy’s most beloved characters.
