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.

Anthologies edited
Hugh Howey recommends

The Plague Forge (2013)
(Dire Earth Cycle, book 3)
Jason M Hough
"Claustrophobic, intense, and satisfying - I couldn't put this book down."

Bird Box (2014)
(Bird Box , book 1)
Josh Malerman
"A book that demands to be read in a single sitting, and through the cracks between one's fingers."

Blood Honor (2016)
(Day After Never, book 1)
Russell Blake
"Best post-apocalyptic book I've read in ages. When the world ends, I hope this book survives."

Aye, Robot (2017)
(Rex Nihilo, book 2)
Robert Kroese
"A brilliant sequel to one of my favorite romps of all time."

After On (2017)
(Silicon Valley )
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."
