Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
Joe Abercrombie was born in Lancaster, England, on December 31, 1974, and educated at Lancaster Royal Grammar School before studying psychology at the University of Manchester. In his own account, he was the kind of teenager who played video games, rolled dice, and drew maps of imaginary places, habits that would later feed directly into his fiction. After university he moved to London, started out in TV post-production, and then spent about a decade working as a freelance film editor on documentaries, music projects, and live events. That period gave him the time and discipline to return seriously to fiction. ((https://joeabercrombie.com/author/))
