Paul S. Kemp is a lawyer. That is bad. He is also the million-selling author of the Erevis Cale sword and sorcery stories and several Star Wars novels. That is good. Very good. He has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list three times (twice on the hardcover list, and once in the mass market list). His first book for Angry Robot was The Hammer and the Blade. It’s a little known fact that Paul has maimed eight men and three llamas using only an unsharpened pencil and a stick of Wrigley’s gum. Now you know too. He does not hum show tunes. Ever. Paul lives in Michigan with his wife and twin sons. You can find him at his website, PaulKemp.com, or follow him on Twitter.
