He wrote the majority of the script for the acclaimed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel. He also worked on the Baldur's Gate series, and has written various Forgotten Realms and Star Wars novels. His new and forthcoming games and books include Mass Effect, (May 2007) and Path of Destruction (September 2006). He lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, with his loving wife Jennifer, and their cat.
