DESTINY'S ROAD (1991)

Today on our podcast Re-Creative Mark and I are joined by the super successful and super-fun science fiction writer, John Scalzi.
It's an entertaining conversation about science fiction, the egotistical nature of writing, and John's hobby, which is music.
But the conversation doesn't end there, as we examine the value of creating art, just for the joy of it.

CW: Long thread/3
Enter *The Bezzle*, which will be published by #TorBooks and #HeadOfZeus on Feb 20: this adventure finds Marty in the company of Scott Warms, one of the many bright technologists whose great startup was bought and destroyed by Yahoo! (yes, they really used that asinine exclamation mark). Scott is shackled to the Punctuation Factory by golden handcuffs, and he's determined to get fired without cause, so he can collect his shares and move onto the next thing.

The book comes out on Nov 14 from #TorBooks and #HeadOfZeus, and I'm running a #Kickstarter campaign to pre-sell the ebook, hardcover and (especially) the audiobook (Amazon refuses to carry my audiobooks, so this is the only way to get them into readers' hands); you can back it now:
To whet your appetite, I'm serializing the book's prologue, which really kicks things off.

CW: Long thread/37
Can *any* revolution - political, military or technological - hope to reckon with (let alone make peace with!) people who have brought us to this terrifying juncture?
Like I say, this is something I've spent a *lot* of time thinking about - not just how we might get out of this mess, but how we'll *stay* out of it. As is my wont, I worked out my anxieties on the page. My next novel, *The Lost Cause*, comes out from #TorBooks and #HeadOfZeus in Nov:

A delightful surprise this morning! #TorBooks released the cover for "The Bezzle," the sequel to "#RedTeamBlues" (out in Feb) designed by #WillStaehle. I didn't think it was possible, but I like this EVEN BETTER than the cover for book one!

But the Golden Age of Steven Brust is not 12. While those early titles hold up fabulously - and boy, do they ever! - they are merely the setup for a nineteen volume series that is now nearly done - Brust and #TorBooks just published *Tsalmoth*, the sixteenth volume:

#TorBooks published a list of #SFF #reading recommendations they'd give to #TedLasso characters. The ones I've read seem spot on, and I'm definitely adding a few of the ones I haven't read to my library hold list... 🤔 📚
