Writing Excuses 8.47: Roguishness with Scott Lynch
Scott Lynch, author of The Republic of Thieves, joins Brandon, Howard, and Mary before a live audience at GenCon Indy to talk about roguishness.

Most importantly, what do authors need to do in order to help readers like the rogues, rather than just thinking they're awful people?
