Pat Rothfuss is the author of a popular trilogy of books who tries to help others.

With his unruly hair and bushy, long beard, Pat Rothfuss may look the part that some imagine a fantasy author would play. But the Stevens Point-based author of popular Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy of novels has a decidedly real-world outlook, organizing his fellow authors to create an international non-profit that champions sustainability.
