Joe Abercrombie

Joe Abercrombie was born in Lancaster, England, on the last day of 1974. He was educated at Lancaster Royal Grammar School and Manchester University, where he spent much of his time playing computer games, rolling dice, and drawing maps of places that don’t exist. Joe worked as an editor of documentaries and live music for ten years, but having long dreamed of single-handedly redefining the fantasy genre, he started to write an epic trilogy based around the misadventures of thinking man’s barbarian Logen Ninefingers. The Blade Itself was unleashed on an unsuspecting public in 2006 and now has publishers in over twenty countries. He has since published Before They are Hanged, Last Argument of Kings, Best Served Cold, The Heroes, and Red Country, as well as the young adult Shattered Sea series. Joe now lives in Bath with his wife, Lou, his daughters Grace and Eve, and his son Teddy. Photo credit: Lou Abercrombie
