Biography

Irvine was born on March 22, 1969.[3] Irvine first gained attention with his Locus Award-winning 2002 novel A Scattering of Jades (which also won the Crawford Award in 2003) and the stories that would form the 2003 collection Unintended Consequences. He has also published the Grail Quest novel One King, One Soldier (2004), and the World War II-era historical fantasy The Narrows (2005).[4] He released a collection of thirteen short stories called Pictures from an Expedition in 2006.[4] Buyout, a novel set in 2041, was published by Random House in 2009.

In addition to his original works, Irvine has published Have Robot, Will Travel (2004), a novel set in Isaac Asimov's positronic robot milieu; and Batman: Inferno (2006), about the DC Comics superhero. His novel The Ultimates: Against All Enemies, about the Marvel Comics superhero team was published by Pocket Books in September 2007. He also wrote the Vertigo Encyclopedia.[4][5][6] As well as writing about comics he has written a number of comic book series, including one featuring Daimon Hellstrom for the Marvel Comics imprint MAX,[7][8] Daredevil Noir,[9][10] and "The Rapture."[11]

He has worked on Alternate Reality Games including The Beast and I Love Bees and is the writer of the Facebook game Avengers Alliance.[12]

Irvine has a B.A. from the University of Michigan (1991), an M.A. from the University of Maine (1996), and a Ph.D. from the University of Denver (2003).[4] From 2005-11, he was an assistant professor of English at the University of Maine.[4] He also worked for a time as a reporter at the Portland Phoenix.[13] He is married with twins, a boy and girl, and two younger children. [4] Irvine is vehemently opposed to the use of ketchup as a condiment for eggs, the only exception being in the case of egg sandwiches.[14] He was until recently a professor at the University of Southern Maine.
