Wool Omnibus Edition (Wool 1-5)

Q&A with Author Hugh Howey

Q: Is this really the end?!

A: To quote every one of my favorite Top-10 kung-fu movies: Every end is a new beginning. There are many more stories to tell. Not just the rest of silo 18’s story, but the future of silo 17, which is about to change. And then there are all the other silos crowding in around them. You won’t believe what’s going on in silo 40!

Q: Why are these books so cheap?

A: Because I’m a big fat nobody, that’s why! Until you have a name for yourself, you are forced to strum your guitar in subway stations and scribble your poetry on bathroom stalls. Later, people will pay for that stuff instead of drawing penises on it. At first, I even agonized over charging more for this volume, but it ended up being five times the length of the first WOOL. I’ve been assured that this is still a bargain for what you’re getting (and I take donations at my website if you agree).

Q: Can I tell you how awesome I think these books are?

A: Why yes you can! And I would prefer you did it with Amazon reviews. I read every single one of them, I promise. This is how the series is discovered, so if you want other readers to find and enjoy them as you have, take a few minutes and review anything of mine you’ve read. Bonus fan-points for reviewing the books individually!

Q: What’s next?

A: I have a Molly Fyde book (the fifth in the saga) that’s almost complete. And I also have a brand new series I’m working on. I haven’t spilled the beans on this yet (you loyal readers get to hear the juicy gossip first), but it’s going to be called SAND LAND. It’s the story of two brothers who live in that narrow and inhospitable strip of land between the Sand Mountains and the constant warring in No Man’s Land. It is a truly dreadful place to live. Silo 17 would be their Shangri-La. Anyone who’s ever tried to leave Sand Land has either perished or never been heard from again.

That is, until a young girl comes back from that elsewhere with stories from the other side…

Q: How can I keep up with your writing?

A: That’s an awfully convenient question! Thanks for asking.
