Thomas H. Reid

Born in Fort Collins, Colorado, and raised in Arlington, Texas, Thomas M. Reid studied at the University of Houston, where he minored in creative writing. He later joined Wizards of the Coast, where he worked on Advanced Dungeons & Dragons books and began building a career that blended fiction with game design.

He is especially associated with Dungeons & Dragons tie-in fiction, including novels set in Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk. Alongside his fiction, he also contributed to role-playing game sourcebooks, which helped shape the worlds he was writing about.

That mix of novelist and designer gives his work an easy appeal for fantasy readers who enjoy deep settings, sharp action, and stories that feel grounded in a larger world.
