David Gemmell
He has been a full time novelist since 1986, and lives in England . Here is a bio borrowed from DelRey: David A. Gemmell was born in London, England, in the summer of 1948. Expelled from school at sixteen for organizing a gambling syndicate, he became a laborer by day, working on building sites, digging trenches and foundations. At night his six-foot four-inch, 230-pound frame allowed him to earn extra money as a bouncer working nightclubs in Soho. Born with a silver tongue, Gemmell rarely needed to "bounce" customers, relying on the what the Irish term "the gift of the gab" to talk his way out of trouble. At eighteen this gift led to a job as a trainee journalist, and he eventually worked as a freelancer for the London Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, and Daily Express. His first novel, LEGEND, was published in and has remained in print in the U.K. ever since. He became a full time writer in 1986. David Gemmell is a full-time writer and a London Times bestseller. He is the author of many bestselling fantasy novels in England. Random Century, Gemmell's original British publisher, named their Legend imprint after Gemmell's most popular book.
