An interview with Andy Remic (and Marco, too)
By
The British Science Fiction Association have published an interview with Angry Robot’s favourite hard man, Andy Remic.
Kell’s Legend is a different book to what I normally have published, no doubt. But I started off as a fantasy writer, and looked early on in my career to good old David Gemmell as my mentor and inspiration. There are, without a shadow of a doubt, echoes of Gemmell in my writing – but then, I’m proud of that. I think in some ways I’ve gone full circle – I’m writing what I was writing twenty years ago, when I first started out. And that’s cool, and ultimately fulfilling for me as a writer.

Don’t forget – Kell’s Legend hits the shops today, and as it’s Waterstones’ Bookseller’s Choice, it hits hard! Pick up a copy next time you’re in town, or grab one from Waterstones online.
Oh, and the part about lace underwear is completely untrue! Well, when I say completely untrue, there’s an element of truth to it. Well, when I say an element of truth, it’s more truthful than not. Ok, it’s true, but it just feels so right…
And while you’re in the interview mood, head on over to Bibliophile Stalker, where Charles Tan has a few words with Angry Robot’s own Marc Gascoigne.
With all the changes in the publishing industry with the rise of the Internet, Print on Demand, eBooks, etc., how is Angry Robot factoring all of these into its business plan?
With great gusto! We’re releasing eBook editions of all our releases, and ensuring that they are priced modestly too. Were not always able to control as much as we like – certain vendors add their own DRM regardless of what the stance of the imprint is, for example, but we’re making sure that non-DRM editions are out there too for those who want them. The online community has been madly helpful with advice and research as we’ve gone along too – we’ve run several surveys, whether in private or public, and the response has always been useful.
