A Word with Molly and Wool Fans
Ah, my faithful and impatient readers. A word, if I may. I have some disappointing news for you. The next Molly book won't be out until the end of summer at the very earliest. I know this breaks the heart of my dearest sister and quite a few others, especially since the book has been [...]

The Perfect Book to Steal
My "other" little short story is free today and tomorrow. THE PLAGIARIST is about a young college English professor who spends his spare time jacked in to artificial worlds where he steals their literature. It was written for a science fiction class I was taking at the time, and the main character is my loving [...]

The Double-Bounce of Boing Boing
I had a huge break last Friday when Boing Boing reviewed the Wool series. The Omnibus Edition raced up to the top of science fiction (yeah, it hit #1, marching past George R.R. Martin who shouldn't even be on that list!). It has now spent four days in the top 100 of the entire Kindle [...]

The book nobody wants to read.
That's right, I'm working on my memoirs. Why? I have no idea. It starts with a "Prelude," which was the name of the yacht I was working on at the time. This is the first time I've set down the details of this particular day. I'm copying and pasting what I just wrote because I'm [...]

Casting On!
Couldn't resist the knitting term. Okay, a movie/TV option is getting more and more likely. That doesn't mean WOOL will actually be made into anything (99.99% chance that it doesn't), but it's getting real enough to dream up a cast. Based on your feedback and my own ideas, here's who I have as my all-star [...]

My Interview with Cole Drewes
This was an awesome interview. I loved the questions Cole came up with. Go check it out, and keep an eye on his artwork section. I think he's gonna have some stuff up there soon. I'm talking with him about commissioning a WOOL piece. Oh, and he's going to have a booth at this year's [...]

Molly Fyde and the Darkness Deep
Mr. Howey, I just finished Molly book four and decided I needed to run through a chunk of your website, just to see what's going on. I didn't read in depth, just really browsed, but the Darkness Deep thing snagged me hard… more Molly, but so little information on it–none as far as I can [...]
I, Zombie skullduggery
Pick your favorite. Or "none of the above."
A Free Day Means Free Books!
All kinds of my Kindle books are free today. And remember: you don't need a Kindle to read them. Any smartphone, PC, or Mac will do. WOOL 1 is free right here. WOOL 2 is right here. And here's WOOL 3. Oh, and guess what? Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue is free as well. [...]

WOOL, the movie.
Tonight I'll be talking to my film co-agent, who I think is going to shop WOOL around to studios and production companies. (I suppose I'll know more about this *after* we talk). This and the offer from the BBC has me wondering just what sort of film or TV show anyone would expect to make [...]
