Paul Ruditis

Paul Ruditis is an American author born and raised in Philadelphia. After studying theater direction at West Chester University, he moved to Los Angeles and worked at Paramount Pictures, rising through its licensing department before turning to writing full-time. He became a prolific author of media tie-in fiction and companion guides for television franchises including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Star Trek, Roswell, and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, several of which are reflected in the catalog's Charmed and Star Trek: Enterprise novels. Beyond tie-in work, Ruditis wrote the original YA novel Rainbow Party, which drew controversy for its frank depiction of teenage sexuality, and later worked as a lead writer for Zenescope Entertainment's comics line.
