Bob Whitely is an author, editor, game designer and commercial artist.
Passionate about blending genres, he created both the Cosmoverse and Toonaria Campaign Settings, two homologous, blended-genre universes. He also created the Cosmothea Roleplaying Game for his gritty Cosmoverse, and is developing Epic Destinies, a rules-lite roleplaying game for his seemingly light-hearted Toonaria.
After winning first place in a Dungeons & Dragons Monster Design contest, designing over two dozen board and card games and writing piles of stories, Bob decided it was past time to start sharing his creations and founded QT Games LLC.
In celebration of 40 years of adventuring in the Cosmoverse and Toonaria, Bob launched two new imprints: Cosmoverse Publishing and Toonaria Publishing. The Shadow Reaper is the first novel to be released under the Cosmoverse Publishing imprint, coming July 31, 2019.
He ran a successful Kickstarter for Arcane Synthesis: a Blended-Genre Anthology in 2014, and has also written and directed numerous plays and skits over the past eighteen years, acting in many of them both locally and abroad.
Currently, Bob is working on completing a bucket list of creative projects, after which he hopes to get out another bucket (he bought a truck load before realizing he'd never have time to fill them all.) He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he pursues his greatest passion, his adventures with his wife, sons and an adorable chieweenie.
