Just a reminder my new book of poetry is available for pre-order and this collection is especially vulnerable but I can't wait to share it with you. 🖤

I'm mentioned before I'm super proud of my pal , and if you are an Academy member, I sure hope you've watched this and are actively considering it for that award you'll be giving soon.

A friend sent along a picture of Krissy from roughly 25 years ago. Also, here's a picture of her from this January.

I stayed at the hotel next to this one frequently, but never at this one. Because, well. It was not what it once was, and even when it was, it wasn't all that.

While we're on the subject of the First Amendment: Drag shows are absolutely political speech, y'all, maybe they weren't once, but they sure as fuck are now, the GOP went out of their way to make them so, great job, ya fragile losers

People think fascism happens elsewhere, and not in the US, so please let me remind all y'all that not only is American Fascism not new or unusual, it's fucking held rallies at Madison Square Garden. So, yeah, DeSantis is old wine in a new, shitty bottle.

Just saw someone say "Fascist is a devalued word, Scalzi is being hyperbolic," so just to be clear, as someone who has actually read original sources, DeSantis is a for-fucking-real fascist, look up the term and his smug-ass face peers back up at you

They're apparently focusing on the subjects that tickle the Google search algorithm, which means they're screwed when Google changes those parameters without telling them, which Google so often does. Why not just... make good content? With actual humans?

BOOK DEAL NEWS 🎉 My next novel is a cyberpunk samurai space opera (without the space) that I describe as what you'd get if Akira Kurosawa wrote Dune starring a 50-something give-no-fucks swordswoman on her last job, blended with vibes of Blade Runner plus a touch of John Wick.

We're delighted to announce a new sci-fi duology from @FondaJLee! An aging contractor's final mission thrusts her deep into a world of espionage and sword fights on an isolated colony planet. The Last Contract of Isako is coming in Winter 2025. Learn more: bit.ly/3EMccP9

The story I like to tell about this painting is that Tor paid almost as much for it as it paid me for the book, and then I (happily!) bought the painting from him, so for about 18 months he had made more from Old Man's War than I had. I have caught up since then.

The art are the original paintings of both the hardcover and paperback editions of Old Mans War, by and John Harris, respectively, and the B&W study for the French cover of Agent to the Stars, by . The final color version is in 's room.

Based on related experiences, I feel very strongly that a robot cat box would freak out our particular cats and then they would decide to poop and pee in new and exciting mystery places, so I'd rather scoop than get new carpet every few months.

(Anyone about to suggest that Krissy is my assistant should be aware that she's actually the boss - literally, she's the CEO of Scalzi Enterprises, my LLC - and if any of the Scalzis is going to get an assistant, it will be her)

It's actually a bit of a running joke among other of my author friends that I haven't hired an assistant by now. It's because a) I'm cheap (hides guitars), b) I'm in denial. But even if I did hire an assistant, I doubt I could get them to scoop the cat boxes, they are vile.
