Hugh Howey


USA flag (b.1975)

Hugh Howey spent eight years living on boats and working as a yacht captain for the rich and famous. It wasn't until the love of his life carried him away from these vagabond ways that he began to pursue literary adventures, rather than literal ones.

Hugh wrote and self-published his first young adult novel, Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue. The Molly Fyde series won rave reviews and praise from readers but it was the release of Wool that made his career take off.

Hugh lives in Jupiter, Florida with his wife Amber and their dog Bella.

Chronicle Worlds: Half Way Home (2023)
(Future Chronicles, book 22)
Samuel Peralta
"The best place to discover new SF authors, I think, is any of the anthologies coming from Samuel Peralta."

The Many Daughters of Afong Moy (2022)
Jamie Ford
"A haunting love story not just for our time but all times, Jamie Ford's The Many Daughters of Afong Moy explores the challenges of the Asian experience across eras, and into our own, and reminds us that no human suffers alone.Impossible to put down once I picked it up, its characters will live with me for a very long time."
thumb
After On (2017)
Rob Reid
"Rob Reid doesn't write science fiction; he writes future history. After On is the best account I've read of how superintelligence will arrive and what it will mean for all of us. Hilarious, frightening, believable, and marvelously constructed--After On has it all."
