Author interview: The Scoundrel's Son with Frederic Fahey

What really happened to Tom Canty after he swapped places with
Edward VI in Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper?


In this conversation, I sit down with debut author Frederic Fahey
to talk about his historical novel The Scoundrel’s Son, a rich
and imaginative continuation of Twain’s classic tale—set in the
heart of Tudor England. We chat about why Fred felt called to
tell Tom’s story, the real Tudor figures who make appearances
(yes, including Lady Jane Grey!), and how a
scientist-turned-author finds inspiration in friendship,
identity, and loss.


Also: the Wicked book cover connection, writing strong Tudor
women, and the character who punches people in the nose when
necessary.
