David Eddings was born in Spokane, Washington in 1931, and was raised in the Puget Sound area north of Seattle.
He received a Bachelor of arts degree from the university of Washington in 1961.
He has served in the United States Army, worked as a buyer for the Boeing Company, has been a grocery clerk and has taught college English.
He has lived in many parts of the United States.
He's first Novel, High Hunt, was a contemporary adventure story. The field of fantasy has always been of interest to him, however, and he turned to The Belgariad in an effort to develop certain philosophical ideas concerning that genre.
Leigh Eddings has collaborated with her husband for more than a dozen years.
The Eddings live in the Southwest.
Here are my thoughts about Mr. Eddings books.
If you would like to live some hours in the Belgariad ambiance connect
