There were 204 response comments to the Frontlines giveaway. This morning, I employed a random number picker to spit out two very random numbers: According to my scientific calculations (and starting the count from the oldest comment), the winners are: Ken Malphurs and Marlo Brown. Congratulations, you two. Please contact me at marko.kloos@gmail.com and…

writer blog hop.
My friend Claire tagged me in a blog hop. The idea is to have a bunch of writers answer questions about their work and then tag other writers to participate. I don’t have anyone to tag, but if any of you shifty writer folk reading this want to take up the baton and run with…
achievement unlocked: foreign language rights sale.
That right there is the contract for the Czech language rights to TERMS OF ENLISTMENT, making this officially my first foreign rights sale. This is one of the many reasons why having a good agent is a huge benefit. Foreign language rights are basically free money. The foreign publisher pays an advance–check in the mail,…
scalzi confesses. film at 8.
John Scalzi FINALLY TAKES THE BLAME: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2014/02/03/these-books-are-partially-my-fault/ And everything he says is 100% true. John forgot to add that he’s also part of the reason why SF/F has lots of talented up-and-coming writers. He was most generous with his time and expertise at VP XII, and so were all the other instructors. Every year, just…
io9 reviews TERMS and LINES.
io9 has a fantastic write-up of TERMS OF ENLISTMENT and LINES OF DEPARTURE that is just chock-full of good quotes like this one: Much like Scalzi’s Old Man’s War and its sequels, Terms of Enlistment and Lines of Departure are combat-grade Military SF, and should come with an addiction warning. Hopefully, it won’t be too…

q&a.
Geek Mountain State has an interview up with some weirdo who wrote some novels about spaceships and flechette rifles and stuff blowing up. Seems shifty to me, but if that’s your kind of thing, head on over there and read what the nerd had to say.

The unabridged audiobooks of TERMS OF ENLISTMENT and LINES OF DEPARTURE are up on Audible for pre-order. The release date is January 28, same as the print and ebook versions.

daddy used nintendo 2ds. it’s super effective!
How do you glue a first-grader to the couch? You give her a Nintendo 2DS for Christmas: She hasn’t moved from that spot since yesterday morning. We had a low-key Christmas here at Castle Frostbite. No house guests, just the four of us and the doggens. We had our traditional Christmas feast of Surf &…
