Shadowrealm is a fitting conclusion to one of the best fantasy series I have ever read. It is a pleasant change to invest not in one or two characters, but in all of them – a true rarity in the genre…
—The Fantasy Book Critic, writing of Shadowrealm, book three of The Twilight War.
Welcome to the homepage of Paul S. Kemp. I am a writer of speculative fiction, most of it set in the Forgotten Realms setting, and much of it featuring my signature character, Erevis Cale. Recently I expanded into the Star Wars Expanded Universe, completing Crosscurrent, a standalone Star Wars novel that features the Jedi Jaden Korr. I will also be writing two additional Star Wars novels, one set in The Old Republic and entitled Deceived (tying into the Bioware/Lucasarts MMORPG “The Old Republic”), and a sequel to Crosscurrent.
But whether I’m writing sword and sorcery, science fantasy, or space opera, my work is always dark, gritty, and character driven.
What? You’ve never read any of my work? Why, I’m cut to the very quick. And now that I’ve guilted you a little bit, maybe you’d like to give my work a try?
If so, let me make a recommendation: If you’re someone who jumps right into the deep end of the pool, the best place to start my work is The Erevis Cale Trilogy Omnibus. On the other hand, if you’d rather just stick your toe in the water and see if the temperature suits you, you might enjoy a sampler of my short fiction, in the form of Ephemera: Dark stories from the mind of Paul S. Kemp.
In any event please look around and have some fun.
