David Gemmell 1948 - 2006
David 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, and at night his six-foot-four-inch, 230-pound frame allowed him to earn extra money
as a bouncer working nightclubs in Soho. He has also worked as a freelance journalist with the London Daily Mail, Daily Mirror,
and Daily Express.
His first novel, Legend, was published in 1984 and has remained in print ever since. He became a full-time writer in 1986.
David Gemmell passed away aged 57 , if life was but fair he would have lived to add many more masterpieces to english
fantasy literature but alas it is not. Your fans will miss you Mr Gemmell , english literature will miss you and i will miss
you. May you find your way to the hall of heros and drink your fill.
