Scott Lynch. Scott Lynch? Scott Lynch! @scottlynch78 @geeksgalaxy

In case you missed it... Scott Lynch. 

The author of the Gentleman Bastards sequence (The Lies of Locke Lamorra, Red Seas Under Red Skies, and most recently, The Republic of Thieves) has gone and built hisself a Facebook page.  And there was much rejoicing.

Lynch's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/scottlynch78) now joins his Tumblr page (http://scottlynch78.tumblr.com/) and his Twitter account (@scottlynch78), and he says "Please give it a like if you’re interested in following my wacky shenanigans across the social media interwebz tubes. Arise, my Facebook army, and we will click our way to victory. Or something like it."

And yes, before you even ask, there is a Sales and SF lesson drawn from the work of Scott Lynch...  but, it's not one of the 42 lessons from Rugg's Handbook of Sales and Science Fiction.  The Lies of Locke Lamora provides the source material for the first lesson in the sequel to Sales and Science Fiction, Rugg's Handbook of Sales and Swords & Sorcery.  The lesson was included in the first printing of Sales and Sci-Fi, as a teaser for the sequel (at that time dubbed Sales and Fantasy).  And since it's not my birthday, nor is it Scott Lynch's birthday (as far as I know), I'm not including the lesson here in the blog today.  Fer gosh sakes, go out and buy the book, already!

PS.  One of the most recent posts by Lynch announces that he's looking for a part-time author's personal assistant.  If you're in Wisconsin and think it might be cool to work in a job that includes the description of dusting out Lynch's Scrooge McDuck money bin twice a week, check out his posts for application info.

And PPS.  Lynch writes adult stuff for adults, and his posts can be salty.  You've been warned.
