I am anxiously awaiting my copy of The Sagan Diary as well as Scalzi’s new book on writing. And, thankfully, April will be here soon bringing The Last Colony with it. After that I may have to satisfy my Scalzi fix by rereading his books.
Wasn’t that Irene Gallo post great? I popped over there yesterday and was thrilled to see what the various artists had to say about working on book series. Her site is fantastic.
Agreed on The Art Department. There’s a high concentration of fun and interesting information.
