Ohio is coming to kick your ass with science fiction day

April 7th 2008 at 1:02 pm

John Scalzi writes:

In an interesting bit of trivia, Sly Mongoose’s official release date is August 19, which is also the release date of Zoe’s Tale. Given the simultaneous release of these books by two residents of the same state, each up for one of the two major awards in science fiction, I hereby declare August 19 as “Ohio is Coming To Kick Your Ass With Science Fiction” Day.

I’m so totally on board.

Which reminds me that I need to beg, borrow, or steal an ARC of Scalzi’s Zoe’s Tale sometime soon from Tor.

    August is looking to be a good month for reading. Now, I need to double-check, am I going to be on vacation, sitting by the beach with a book by T.B. Buckell or J. Scalzi, or am I going to be back from vacation, reading my backlogged e-mail and moaning how short my damned vacation was and complaining that I don’t have time to read said-books.
