Whatever

From August 1st through September 12th, John Scalzi is on a blogging hiatus and Whatever is hosting four super awesome guest bloggers. They are:

John Anderson

John Anderson blogs Microsoft SharePoint for his employer, Bamboo Solutions, but what may be far more germane to Whatever readers is that he was the co-creator and editor-in-chief of ComicsAlliance.com, blogs the SXSW music festival annually for Twangville.com, and has known Scalzi longer than (most of) you. Nyah nyah.

Mykal Burns

Vagabond bon vivant. Instigator. More fun than anyone I know; probably more than anyone you know, too.

N.K. Jemisin

N. K. Jemisin (nkjemisin.com) is a fantasy author whose debut novel, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, is just out from Orbit Books. Her Canadian cat, NukuNuku, can wrestle bears, yet remains intensely jealous of Ghlaghghee's long silky coat and tail.

Mary Robinette Kowal

Campbell Award-winner Mary Robinette Kowal is the author of Shades of Milk and Honey(Tor, 2010). She is a professional puppeteer.

Holding up the back end as site manager: Kate Baker.
