David Eddings

Very sadly, our very first entry must acknowledge the loss of one of fantasy’s greatest writers, David Eddings.  An internationally bestselling fantasy author, beloved by millions, David Eddings recently died aged 77. He was published by Grafton and then by HarperCollins from 1990 to 2006 when his last title The Elder Gods was released.

Jane Johnson, Publishing Director, says: ‘The Voyager team and I were immensely sad to hear the news. The arrival of a new Eddings novel used to be a grand event for the whole division. In the 90s, each one was guaranteed a Number One position on the Sunday Times hardback bestseller list, selling 100,000 copies apiece. But his huge worldwide success and fame did not change Dave at all: in his dealings with me, and with Joy Chamberlain, his long-time editor, he was unfailingly self-effacing on the subject of his success, once saying: “I’m never going to be in danger of getting a Nobel Prize for literature; I’m a storyteller, not a prophet. I’m just interested in a good story.” He was a towering force of modern commercial fiction, a master of the epic, and a delight to work with. We’ll miss him tremendously.’
