About Kerry Bourgoine

K.R. Bourgoine is a hard-core gamer of role-playing, online, and console games. He's an active beta-tester, having tested Magic Online, Asheron's Call I and II,World of Warcraft, and Diablo II. In his professional life, Kerry is an IT consultant, Network engineer, and Special Project Manager for a renown law-firm located in New York City with offices across the globe. He has been building computers for personal and professional use since the 1980s and is certified in 3D StudioMax, PhotoShop, Dreamweaver, and Director. Kerry is also the author of The Acquisitioners (www.acquisitioners.com). Writing since 2001, his first published work came in the form of a short story, The Adepth's Vault: The Bone Sword of Kelifex, which appeared in Gary Gygax's Lejends (co-Creator of Dungeons and Dragons) magazine in July 2002. That work expanded into a regular column in which he introduced new artifacts into the Lejendary Adventure world, through the tales of Meselin, The Master of Lore and Arcana for the Society of Lost Knowledge. The Acquisitioners series was created in 2001 as an expansion of his Mordelack/Shadowcircle Series, a verbal trilogy that follows the rise, reign, and fall of Modelack the Vile. Interestingly, The Acquisitioners series was written before Mordelack ever was put to paper. In December 2003, www.Acquisitioners.com was launched. Matthew J.
