Jenn let me contribute a blurb to Dicebox<\/em>. Here’s what I wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

Molly and Griffen are blue-collar workers in space looking for work and avoiding past mistakes. Jenn Manley Lee’s unique brand of science fiction — part slice of life, part travelogue — is daring, refreshing, whip-smart, and gloriously entertaining.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And Scott McCloud’s<\/a> blurb:<\/p>\n

\n

In Jenn Manley Lee’s elegant pages, the mysteries of the universe are matched by the mysteries of the human mind. Dicebox is science fiction done right.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The book also includes a short Dicebox story written and drawn by me, years ago. (I’m kind of embarrassed by my old artwork, to be honest, but Jenn says she likes it.)<\/p>\n

Dicebox <\/em>is available as a hardcover, a softcover, and a very affordable pdf — all three versions are for sale at Jenn’s store<\/a>. A warning, though: The book does have a little sex and a little swearing, so probably for grown-ups only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
