For the handful of people here who aren’t reading John Scalzi’s blog, I wrote about the genesis of Silence. It’s live today.
I talk about Silence and the major influence that made that book what it is.
Joey says: Official version of SILENCE, that is.
I’ve been recommending Silence left and right ^^.
You know I imagine I have identified one of your favourite stories to tell (yes, I’ve read almost all your books — I own all of them — and it just now came to me — I’m slow), could you tell me if that is correct or not?
I have the feeling that you often have a central female character (often the main protagonist) who is in possession of some awesome power (whether political, magic, beauty, intellect, etc.), whether inherited, aimed for or unasked for bestowed upon — and they use it to either create a family for themselves or protect their family or avenge their family (with family meaning all truly close relationships, not just birth family).
Paul Howard says: Off Topic, but The Riven Shield ebook is up on Amazon.com.
I’m planning to wait until the series is completely available, but I thought some would like to know about it.
Stephen Jacobs says: Read the piece you wrote about your book on “Whatever” Thank you for that. A balm to the last nerve that gets plucked every time my teen age daughter watches another “Gossip Girl” episode :-)
TV is tricky because it’s one of the social topics of discussion; if you miss certain movies or television shows, you’re out of the talk loop when it turns to them. I try to think of it as a social bonding exercise >.>
Melanie says: I just finished reading Battle and then Silence, I LOVED both books, but i love all your books, thank a million for writing them!

Congratulations! I still haven’t gotten around to reading the official version, but I’m glad it’s getting exposure. Yay!
P.S. I started crying as I read some of the comments to your Big Idea, so I had to stop.
