Scott Lynch, author of the forhcoming fantasy novel The Lies of Locke Lamora which has generated a great deal of buzz (and a purchase of movie rights by Warner Brothers even before the publication of the book), is interviewd at The Bookseller. Therein, he discusses how he came to find a publisher, his penchant for killing his cast of characters (which he blames on George R.R. Martin who, perhaps not coincidentally, has been quite vocal in his praise for the novel), and more.
This is one to keep an eye on.
