John Scalzi: Winner of the 2016 Governor's Award for Arts in Ohio (and So Much More!)

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing John Scalzi--author, supporter of fellow writers, and all-around nice guy--for my "Dayton Reads" feature on mydaytondailynews.com. May seemed fitting timing to feature John in this monthly series, because this month John is a recipient of the 2016 Governor's Award for Arts in Ohio.

The interview reveals a lot about John's background, working process, and just how he ended up choosing science fiction as his genre. (The answer is a bit surprising.) Read the interview by clicking here.

John also generously shared a short story for the online feature, a story that is both wry and (at the end) just a bit poignant, too. Read "When The Yogurt Took Over" by clicking here.

And click here for a brief video at the Dayton Barnes & Noble in which I talk about John's work as well.

It was a good privilege that you got the chance to have an interview with 2016 Governor's Award for Arts in Ohio, Mr. John Scalzi. It was refreshing to hear a lot of words of encouragement from a man who did nothing but worked hard just to achieve what he has today! It's always a nice to hear words from people whom you look up to, especially those who have the same path as yours. It was a privilege hearing these words, and I want to thank you for that!
