Ep. 140 - Scott Lynch talks worldbuilding, planning, new Locke Lamora stories and much more!

Scott Lynch was born in St.Paul, Minnesota in 1978. He sold his first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, in 2004. In addition to his writing, he also has a background in game design and firefighting. Scott currently lives in Massachusetts with his wife, award-winning SF/F novelist Elizabeth Bear. He is currently hard at work on the next stories in the world of Locke Lamora.

Having been huge fans of Locke Lamora for years, we loved having the opportunity to chat with Scott and to hear about how he got his break into the writing world and how he came up with the idea for Locke and the world of Camorr. We chat about the help and hinderance TTRPG experience can be in creating fictional worlds, talk about his writing inspirations, hear about the mental health struggles he has had for the past decade and why things are now improving, and also get the latest on the next stories in the world of Camorr.
