Scott Lynch was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1978. He is the author of The Lies of Locke Lamora, Red Seas Under Red Skies, and The Republic of Thieves. In addition to his writing, he also has a background in game design and firefighting. Scott lives in Massachusetts with his wife, award-winning SF/F novelist Elizabeth Bear, along with four cats (Duncan, Gurney, Molly, and Fafhrd) and a pair of moderately ridiculous Icelandic horses (Ormr and Spola).
PRAISE FOR SCOTT LYNCH
“A bright new voice in the fantasy genre.”—George R. R. Martin
Red Seas Under Red Skies
“Lynch hasn’t merely imagined a far-off world, he’s created it, put
it all down on paper—the smells, the sounds, the people, the feel
of the place. The novel is a virtuoso performance, and sf/fantasy
fans will gobble it up.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Red Seas Under Red Skies firmly proves that Scott Lynch isn’t a
one-hit wonder. . . . It’ll only be a matter of time before Scott
Lynch is mentioned in the same breath as George R. R. Martin and
Steven Erikson.”—Fantasy Book Critic
“Grand, grandiose, grandiloquent . . . No critic is likely to fault
Lynch in his overflowing qualities of inventiveness, audacious
draftsmanship, and sympathetic characterization.”—Locus
“The kind of witty romp that reminds you exactly how much fun
heroic fantasy is supposed to be.”—SFX
The Lies of Locke Lamora
“Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies
of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever.
Maybe my top five. If you haven’t read it, you should. If you have
read it, you should probably read it again.”—Patrick Rothfuss, New
York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
