DuBois grew up in Dover, New Hampshire,[3] graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas High School located there,[4] and then graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1982.[3][4] As of 2015, he was married and living in Exeter, New Hampshire.[5]

DuBois has twice won a Shamus Award for Best Short Story, in 1995 and 2001.[3] His short story "The Dark Snow" was published in Best American Mystery Stories of the Century (edited by Otto Penzler and Tony Hillerman). Despite success in those primary genres, he is best known for his alternate history novel Resurrection Day (1999), which won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History.[6][7][8]

DuBois was the champion on the September 28, 2012, episode of Jeopardy! and defeated The Beast on the February 24, 2015, episode of The Chase.[5]

On July 10, 2024, DuBois was arrested in Exeter, New Hampshire and charged with six felony counts of possession of child pornography.[9] He was arraigned the next day and held at the Rockingham County Jail.[9] Severn River Publishing, which published or republished 12 of his novels, has removed all his books from its online catalog.[10]
