Lynch responded to their demand by publishing the prologue to his first novel. He would either show them what he was working on or shut up. Eventually, his friends gave him an ultimatum. Lynch said this many times even though he had nothing to show. He kept telling them that he was working on a novel. At the time, the author was part of a group of fantasy enthusiasts on the internet. He spent too much time doing research and accumulating large piles of notes. It took Lynch longer than he expected to get ‘The Lies of Locke Lamora’ off the ground. The fact that they became such big hits was an accident. The first three books were prequels, designed to flesh out the world and the protagonists. However, Lynch eventually concluded that he did not know the characters well enough to take them on the adventure that awaited them in Book 4. People that have read the author’s first three novels might be surprised to learn that the series was supposed to start with Book 4. Lynch started working on ‘The Lies of Locke Lamora’ in 2000. However, he did not have the discipline to hone his artistic abilities. For a time, the author hoped to become a comic book artist.

Lynch wrote a page and a half before he gave up. He was a pre-teen when he attempted to pen his first novel. Lynch was quite young when he decided that he wanted to write fiction. She was still in his life when Lynch wrote his first novel.

Lynch credited Jenny for standing by him for several years, not only reading his stories but providing the constructive criticism he needed. His relationship with Jenny, his future ex-wife, was an important part of his life. That includes washing dishes, waiting tables, designing websites, and writing as a freelancer. He experimented with several jobs before he published his first novel.
