My new hero...

Hugh Howley wrote 550 pages of serial fiction (compiled in the Wool Omnibus edition) that has propelled him to amazing heights of popularity.  He has sold the movie rights, made a deal for publication in the UK, gotten all his work signed with Random House (a significant name, to say the least)... all through the miracle of self-publication in the age of electronic publishing.

Not only is his science fiction top-notch... his blog is almost as much fun to follow as ours is (less fighting, of course).  Since July of 2011, WOOL has become a sci-fi craze... and Mr. Howley is reaping the rewards.

Tell me again why we aren't at least trying to follow in his footsteps?
