Cam Banks

Born in the mythical antipodean utopia of New Zealand, wisely regarded by scholars as the fountainhead of cultural excellence and the only place on Earth capable of filling in for Middle Earth, Narnia, and Ancient Greece, Cam Banks was lured away by the siren call of a life with meaning and purpose. Cam now lives a quiet, pastoral existence in the Twin Cities of Minnesota with his beautiful wife, their two boys, and more books, comics, and music than he can comfortably store. He works as Creative Director for Margaret Weis Productions, managing and developing their RPG product families. In his free time, Cam likes to read and write fantasy fiction, watch movies and television with his wife, play video games with his oldest son, and allow his youngest son to chip away at his sanity.

Cam co-created the Leverage, Smallville, and Dragon Brigade RPGs and continues to act as line developer for all Margaret Weis Productions projects. His work has appeared in almost every one of over a dozen DRAGONLANCE game sourcebooks published by Sovereign Press and three times in Dragon Magazine. His work on the Bestiary of Krynn earned a silver ENnie Award in 2004 for Best Monster Supplement. Cam's first short story, "Chain of Fools," appears in the anthology Dragons of Time; The Sellsword, published in April 2008, is his first published novel.
