From Computer Game to Book

Sometimes a movie comes out before the book. Sometimes it goes the other way, as a book first. Today, we bring you a unique twist, with a book series based, not on a movie, but on a computer game. Our first guest today on Worlds Awaiting, children’s book author Matthew J. Kirby talks to Rachel about his Assassins Creed book series that is based on the computer game of the same name. Matt was approached by the creators of the game to write this series; and now the print version has a life of its own. Kirby is an award-winning author of books like The Clockwork Three, Icefall, A Taste for Monsters, and The Dark Gravity Sequence series. When he’s not writing books Matt is also a school psychologist.
