The Sagan Diaries

John Scalzi and Subterranean Press has released Scalzi’s novella The Sagan Diaries (12,500 words) on the internet as a free read and/or download.

The Sagan Diaries falls in between Old Man’s War and The Ghost Brigades, and is highly recommended.

They’re also releasing a 500-copy limited edition of You’re Not Fooling Anyone When You Take Your Laptop into a Coffeeshop, a book on writing from Scalzi, a full-time writer since 1991. It’s $35, but it comes signed and touted as a very attractive book. (I bought one of them :-)

If you don’t know who John Scalzi is, here’s the bio quip from the Subterranean website:
