C.S. Kempling is a retired teacher/counsellor living in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. He is father to three and grandfather of five. He enjoys making walking sticks in his spare time-this was the inspiration for Blood Hammer. While he has been a newspaper columnist, poet, songwriter and story author for many years, Blood Hammer is his first novel.
