William R. Forstchen es un reconocido autor estadounidense, conocido por sus obras en novelas de ciencia ficción y historia alternativa. Ha contribuido en varias series, incluyendo Riftwar, Star Trek, Magic: The Gathering y Wing Commander. La escritura de Forstchen no solo se limita a la ficción, sino que también abarca la ficción histórica y los trabajos de no ficción.
Nacido en 1950, Forstchen comenzó su carrera de publicación en 1983 con la novela Ice Prophet. Actualmente es Profesor de Historia y Faculty Fellow en Montreat College en Montreat, Carolina del Norte, donde se especializa en Historia Militar, la Guerra Civil Estadounidense y la Historia de la Tecnología. Su doctorado, obtenido en la Universidad Purdue, se basa en estas especializaciones.
El trabajo de Forstchen es altamente reconocido en el mundo literario y ha sido galardonado con varios premios. Su novela para jóvenes adultos, We Look Like Men of War, se basa en su tesis doctoral, The 28th USCTs: Indiana’s African-Americans go to War, 1863-1865. Esta novela, junto con su serie "Lost Regiment", ha sido opcionada por both Tom Cruise y M. Night Shyamalan. Forstchen también ha co-escrito una serie con Newt Gingrich, incluyendo la trilogía "Gettysburg" y trabajos sobre los eventos que condujeron a Pearl Harbor y los eventos inmediatamente después de ese ataque.
En años recientes, la escritura de Forstchen se ha desplazado hacia la ficción histórica y la no ficción. Su libro, One Second After, examina el daño potencial causado por un ataque EMP en los Estados Continentales de los Estados Unidos. Este libro fue citado en el piso del Congreso y ante el Comité de Servicios Armados de la Cámara de Representantes por el congresista Roscoe Bartlett como una representación realista del potencial daño de un ataque EMP. Forstchen reside cerca de Asheville, Carolina del Norte con su hija Meghan y su perro Maggie. Sus otros intereses incluyen la arqueología, y ha participado en varias expediciones a Mongolia y Rusia. También es piloto y co-posee un avión original de 1943 Aeronca L-3B utilizado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
