Matthew J. Kirby works across two distinct tracks: original middle-grade fiction and video game tie-in novels. His original work includes The Clockwork Three (2010), a steampunk adventure, and Icefall (2011), which won the Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Mystery and is set in a Viking-era ice cave. The Dark Gravity Sequence brought his writing into science fiction territory with three books starting in 2015.
His tie-in work is extensive. He has written for the Assassin’s Creed franchise (both the Last Descendants series and Valhalla titles), the Diablo game series (including Character Tomes and Diablo IV novels), and the Infinity Ring series. This combination of literary ambition in his original work and commercial success in franchise fiction has made Kirby a versatile presence in young adult and middle-grade publishing.
