Don Perrin (born 1 October 1964) is a Canadian writer and former military officer.

Early life and education

Born in Iserlohn, Germany, Perrin grew up in Kingston, ON, Canada, McMasterville, QC, Canada, Bromley, Kent, England, and Ottawa, ON, Canada. Perrin served in the Canadian Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, in the Canadian Department of National Defence. He wrote a series of novels in the Mag Force 7 series, with the first hitting the shelf in April 1995. Perrin has also designed role playing products for Imperium Games's Traveller RPG Universe. Perrin then worked on the game Zero (1997) for Archangel Entertainment. This magazine won the Nonfiction Publication of the Year Award at the 32nd Annual Origins Awards. The magazine offered articles on wargaming/wargames (of widely varied periods), tips on painting, building hints, scenarios, reviews of wargaming books, rules, miniatures and a monthly column by Howard Whitehouse. In 2007, James Manto was brought in as editor-in-chief to help with the organization and structure of the articles. Taking advantage of Perrin's QPOD (Quality Printing on Demand) in-house printing (where small numbers of books, rules, and supplements can be printed inexpensively), the magazine underwent a complete overhaul to an easy-to-hold quarterly magazine. The magazine was closed in 2008.

Personal life

Perrin was married to Margaret Weis, though they are now divorced. Perrin married Kathryn Plamback in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2016. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
