Raymond Feist, Author

Ray went to UCSD in the late 70s.  He and his college buddies ginned-up a dungeons and dragons type universe.   Ray went on to parlay that into a eries spanning 3 decades of writing 30 books in 5 Riftwars under one epic saga.  I just finished reading his last book in the series, Magician’s End.  While not high-brow literature, it decent sci-fi fantasy reading.  What I admire most is how he was able to turn late night college game-playing into an entire career making him a NY and London Times bestselling author.  How cool is that?   This was a prodigious feat of imagination to dorm games into a distinguished writing career.

I am grateful for the entertainment derived from reading many of RF’s Riftwar saga this year.
