Before pursuing a career in writing Kidd had worked at Beam Software, an Australia-based game developer. He is credited as, among other things, the writer, director and lead designer of Nightshade, an ambitious action-adventure title for the NES.[1] He is also credited as the lead designer for Shadowrun.
Kidd's first book, entitled Mus of Kerbridge, was released in 1995 and received a short-list nomination for the 1995 Aurealis Awards best fantasy novel.[2] He has since released six more stand alone novels, written a two book series and has contributed to two of the Dungeons & Dragons novel series, Forgotten Realms: Nobles and Greyhawk.[3] His novel releases include White Plume Mountain (WOTC), Descent into the Depths of the Earth (WOTC), A Whisper of Wings (Vision), The Rats of Acomar (Vision), The Fangs of K'aath (United Press UK), Lilith (Vision), Petal Storm (Vision), Neue Europa (Vision), and the Petal Storm graphic novel series.[4] Kidd also has written a non-fiction strategy guide based on the video game Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?[3] and has written two short stories which were published in Dragon Magazine.[5]
