About Aaron Dembski-Bowden

Author Aaron Dembski-Bowden was born in the year 1980 in a rather grey part of London. He grew up with a boringly happy family, and spent quite a few years in Bangladesh. He works and lives in Northern Ireland. Before he wrote for BL Publishing, he worked as a writer for different video games and RPGs. For most of his life, he wanted to be a novelist, after he previously dreamt of having other careers. Like a point guard in the NBA (which he found to be too English), an astronaut (which he found to be too stupid), and a paramedic (too lazy). All of these obviously didn’t pan out for Aaron. He met his wife, named Catherine, in “World of Warcraft”, and has two children, a son (Alexander) and a daughter (Annah). Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of The Horus Heresy Books series, Aaron Dembski-Bowden has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
