Joel Rosenberg (May 1, 1954 – June 2, 2011) was a Canadian-American HighFantasy and ScienceFiction author most famous for his ''Literature/GuardiansOfTheFlame'' series, where a group of [[TabletopRPG tabletop roleplaying gamers]] are suddenly transported into the world of the game, with serious consequences both there and at home. He also collaborated with Creator/RaymondEFeist on a single book in the ''Literature/TheRiftwarCycle''.
Outside of his writing, Rosenberg was also a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanGunPolitics gun rights advocate]], stemming from a hate mail incident where a Neo-Nazi sent threatening letters to him which included detailed descriptions of his home (Rosenberg was Jewish). He suspected this was due to his ''Thousand Worlds'' series about BadassIsraeli mercs InSpace, though it was never shown for sure what the motive was or who the stalker had been.
Rosenberg, a diabetic, died after suffering a major respiratory depression attack at the age of just fifty seven.
