Interview With Hugh Howey, Author Of Wool
Today I’m talking with Hugh Howey. He e-published the first installment of his novel Wool on Amazon last year, and he was soon picked up by an agent who helped him snag foreign rights and an option with Ridley Scott’s production company, Scott Free Productions. He recently signed with Simon and Schuster and his book will be released in the US this March, 2013.
First of all Hugh, I’d like to congratulate you on your new contract with Simon and Schuster. Wool was my number one science fiction pick of 2012, so it was certainly deserving of a big name publisher. The path that led you here is certainly an amazing story. One year ago you were working at a bookstore, and in March 2013 you’ll be able to walk into that same bookstore and buy your own book. With everything you know now, straddling the world of the e-published and traditionally-published book, what do you wish you had known going into it?
Interview With Mark Lawrence, Author Of The Broken Empire Series
By day, Mark Lawrence works as a research scientist in the field of artificial intelligence, and by night he weaves fantasy tapestries that revolve around killers, kings and empires. His flagship series, the Broken Empire, is published by Ace Books. His short stories have appeared in anthologies such as Fading Light and the upcoming Triumph Over Tragedy, Unfettered, and The Fantasy-Faction Anthology. His latest novel, King of Thorns, has made several top ten lists in 2012, including my own.
Mark is married with four children, one of whom is severely disabled. He has held classified positions with the US and UK governments, and at one point in his career he was actually qualified to say “this isn’t rocket science… oh wait, it actually is.”
