Indeed he is. I have read the book pictured and really loved it. Plan on reading more of his work, definitely.

I posted it because of all the fantasy books i have ever read this has been the most inspiring for my own writing. I've read a lot during this year, many (fantasy) books that are big and heavy on the descriptions. And they have been kinda daunting in a way. So far from how i personally write. Then i read this Gemmells book and it really got me thinking about everything a lot differently. His book had much less descriptions and the pace was faster, but it still all worked really well. I took that, and implemented it into my own way of writing. Basically just really started to think more about how much description really is necessary in a scene? I also become more aware of this while i'm reading something. Taking scenes apart more and thinking about the stuff the writer is telling and why.

Before it seemed like i had to climb a mountain to get where i want, now it seems more like a hill. Now, my writing is still somewhat more descriptive, as that is something that i feel is more of my style, but now i think more about how i actually describe things.
