Career
Anthony wrote a number of novels based on Dungeons & Dragons published worlds, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, and Ravenloft.[1] His first such novel was Crypt of the Shadowking in The Harpers series, and he has written several short stories as well.
Anthony was commissioned by TSR to write a novel about Drizzt Do'Urden called The Shores of Dusk by the time Wizards of the Coast had purchased TSR; however, Wizards declined to publish Anthony's completed novel in favor of bringing back R. A. Salvatore to write about Drizzt, starting with The Silent Blade (1998).[2]
Anthony is best known for The Last Rune series, which he developed to explore the idea that reason and wonder need not exist in conflict.[3] Recently[when?] he has written a trilogy under the pseudonym Galen Beckett, beginning with a novel The Magicians and Mrs. Quent, whose blurb, similarly to The Last Rune, claims that the book was written to given an answer to the question "what if there was a fantastical cause underlying the social constraints and limited choices confronting a heroine in a novel by Jane Austen or Charlotte Bronte?".[4]
