Early career

Born in West London in the summer of 1948, he was expelled from school at the age of sixteen for organizing a gambling syndicate. He became a day labourer and a nightclub bouncer in Soho. He also worked as a freelance writer for the London Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, and Daily Express. One rejection letter he received in the early 1960s read: "You mention in your resume that you are working as a lorry driver's mate for Pepsi Cola. This is an occupation not without merit. Good luck with it."

Later Career

He published his first novel, Legend, in 1984 but continued as a journalist. He was an editor of newspapers in Sussex, but this career ended after the publication of his third novel, Waylander, in 1986, in which he used his work colleagues' names for characters in the story. Recalling the event he stated "The managing director regarded it as a poisonous attack on his integrity,".

At this point Gemmell became a full-time writer and published 28 books under his own name, all of which have remained in print. He also published a novel White Knight, Black Swan under the name Ross Harding, a thriller based on his own personal experiences growing up in London which to this day is his only novel out of print. His most recent release was Troy: Shield of Thunder, the sequel to 2005's Troy: The Lord of the Silver Bow. His novels have also appeared in some collected editions and graphic novel form.

Hastings Writers Group

Before his death, Gemmell was Patron of the Hastings Writers' Group, following Catherine Cookson. As patron, he was the main judge in the national literary competition run by the group, The Legend Writing Award, which was named after his first book Legend.

Death

David Gemmell died of coronary artery disease, on Friday 28th July, 2006, two weeks after undergoing heart bypass surgery.

In his words "I tried to quit smoking and found that the years of polluting my brain with nicotine meant that I couldn't string a reasonable sentence together without filling my lungs with smoke. I went three months without a drag, took a good look at the crap I was writing and lit up."
