In this episode of Tea with Jess, I chat with John Scalzi, a New York Times best seller in fiction. His first published series novel, “Old Man’s War,” was a Hugo Award for best novel Nominee, ranked #1 on the Locus Online reader poll, and is listed on the NPR.com reader poll of the Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy Book/Series.
