Richard A Knaak

Richard A Knaak is the bestselling author of Dragonlance novels, Dragonrealm (his own creation), soon-to-be five novels for Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo series, and eventually seven works in the Warcraft universe. He has also written five independent books, but all are in the realm of fantasy.

Born on May 28, 1961, he eventually went on to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, but switched to Rhetoric and earned a bachelor's degree.

Richard A Knaak first became interested in reading fantasy and science fiction when he discovered a copy of Andre Norton's Storm over Warlock. Devouring that, he located Roger Zelazny's Creatures of Light and Darkness and the Amber Series, then Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars stories. Along with Edgar Allan Poe, Knaak considers these his greatest influences.
