Edward Bolme is an American author known for his work in the Forgotten Realms tie-in fiction line published by Wizards of the Coast. He wrote The Alabaster Staff (2003), the first novel in "The Rogues" series, a set of standalone Forgotten Realms adventures centered on morally ambiguous protagonists operating outside conventional heroic roles. Critic Don D'Ammassa praised the novel's central character as "a reasonably well developed character," noting that her exploits are "fast paced and enthusiastically described," a response that reflects Bolme's focus on strong character work paired with brisk pacing typical of the Realms' action-adventure fiction. Bolme also contributed to other Dungeons & Dragons tie-in fiction connected to the setting during the 2000s. Comprehensive independent biographical detail about his personal background remains limited in available public sources, though his published fiction situates him among the second generation of Forgotten Realms authors who continued the franchise's fiction line after its original 1980s TSR-era contributors.
