Dave Gross was born in Michigan but spent his formative years in Maryland and Virginia. He attended James Madison University on a Physics scholarship but soon turned to English, in which he earned a Master's degree.
He worked as a technical writer and taught for a few years before joining game publisher TSR in Wisconsin and then Wizards of the Coast in Washington. There he edited magazines ranging from Dragon to Star Wars Insider and Amazing Stories.
In 1995 he began writing stories and novels set in the Forgotten Realms, including Black Wolf and Lord of Stormweather.
In 2010 he wrote the first Pathfinder Tales novel, Prince of Wolves, featuring Count Varian Jeggare and his semi-devil bodyguard Radovan, who first appeared in the pages of the Pathfinder Adventure Path: Council of Thieves. With Elaine Cunningham, he also co-authored the second Pathfinder Tales novel, Winter Witch.
More adventures of Radovan and the Count appear in web fiction at paizo.com and in the upcoming novel Master of Devils.
Dave lives with his wife and their small pack of animals in Alberta, Canada.
