about this author
He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on April 2, 1978, the first of three brothers. He's lived in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area his entire life; currently, he's just across the border in Wisconsin, about half an hour east of the Twin Cities.
The Lies of Locke Lamora, his first novel, was bought by Simon Spanton at Orion Books in August, 2004. Prior to that he had just about every job you usually see in this sort of author bio-- dishwasher, busboy, waiter, web designer, office manager, prep cook, and freelance writer.
He's very much your standard-issue geek-of-all-trades; he likes history, literature, films, contemporary and classic Macs (huzzah beige boxes!), gaming, and game design. He collects old Choose Your Own Adventure novels and Infocom text adventure games. He's also a volunteer firefighter-- thanks to the wonders of bureaucracy, he's certified in both Minnesota (where he trained) and Wisconsin (where he serves).
In 2008 Scott Lynch won the Sydney J. Bounds Best Newcomer Award from the British Fantasy Society.
