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.
