Hugh goes HUGE!

My friend, Hugh Howey, is leaving the rest of us indie authors in his Dust! (title of his next trilogy btw). LOL. But seriously, Hugh just returned from a European book tour and... Following the 20th Century Fox/Ridley Scott movie deal, and overseas Random House contract, he finally agreed to paper and hard back books through Simon & Shuster... BUT (and this is the BIG one folks), he refused to give them the DIGITAL rights! That's right, he held out until they begged for the print rights and agreed to leave him the indie rights to his eBooks.

Un-F-ing-Real!!!! Kudos to Hugh. He actually advised me to turn down my last two offers from publishers and I thank him for that and for trailblazing a new course for indie authors! So... He is featured in the Wall Street Journal today. Three cheers for the hero and inspiration of indie authors! Watch this report:
