Howey Fans Do; Please Review!
Greetings, Hugh Howey fans. Let me introduce myself: I am Lisa the Erstwhile Editor and possibly Hugh's #1 fan. (I have no intention of chopping off one of his feet…but that could change.) For some strange reason, he has allowed me permission to post on his Web site, and so I shall. For the record, [...]
A Wild First Week as a Writer
Is it Friday? Really? The entire week has felt like one Friday after the other. My first week as an author is drawing to a close, and it has been amazing. I'm sleeping in until 6:00, getting a full night of rest, relaxing (a little) in the evenings, and writing during the day. I may [...]

I, Zombie
This was an interesting day of writing. I put 1,500 words into the next Silo Story (retiring the WOOL moniker, maybe), and then I played around with the unpublishable mess that is I, Zombie. I wouldn't even be touching this thing except that a few fans as nutty as I am loved the idea of [...]

The WOOL OMNIBUS!
Say it. WOOL OMNIBUS. Damn, that sounds nice. I hope they look nice. I'll be holding them in my hand in just a few hours. The box has been here since 10 this morning, which demonstrates my ample reserve of willpower. Come back around 8:30 for a bit of pre-chat. The unboxing will take place [...]

Be sure to tune in. I'll be [...]
The Future of Signed Books
Signed books. I love them both as a reader and a writer. I cherish the ones that I own, and one of my greatest thrills as an author is signing copies at events and chatting with readers. Every time an order comes through from my website and I get to sign and ship off a [...]

Let the Alphabet Soup of Speculation Begin!
So, I woke up this morning to find yet another email from a TV channel comprised of three letters. They want to talk with me this week, on the phone, about turning WOOL into a TV show. On the inside, I'm freaking out a little. On the outside, I just wet myself.

A Happy Day
These are my favorite days, these days when a new project is released into the wild. It's killing me to be at work-work and not home to savor every Tweet, FB comment, review, ranking, etc. My mind is simply blown at how many of you seemed to have been waiting for this story. Ten hours [...]
Let's do the math…
Today's "Fun With Numbers" is brought to you by my least ardent fans, the ones who complain about my publishing model and think I'm somehow ripping them off (the ones who don't visit my website and who won't see any of this). I've blogged at length about the numerous benefits the Wool series brings to [...]
