This has been on my Audible recommendations list for what seems like months. I would’ve checked it out at some point – because John Scalzi – even if it wasn’t being offered as a free download, but that it was necessitated immediate consumption. I can only imagine this was based on a random idea he had in the shower, or driving to the grocery store, and he decided to hammer out a quick 25,000 words (or whatever) before getting back to whatever his next novel […]
“I just believe that the interesting time in a career is pre-success, what shaped things, how did you get to this point?”
I wasn’t planning on listening to this book right now, but then a sale happened and here we are.

And it’s been a month and a half. Randy O. Frost […]
