Hugh Howey is a successful American author, best known for his science fiction novels. He is the writer of the Wool/Silo series as well as the Molly Fyde/Bern Saga series. Howey's works have been translated into over 40 languages, and he has sold millions of copies around the world. Two of his most popular series, Wool and Beacon 23, have been adapted into television shows for AppleTVPlus and AMC, respectively.
Howey was born in 1975 and grew up in Monroe, North Carolina. He developed a love for ships and reading at a young age, spending his summers at the family beach house in North Carolina. His passion for the sea and adventure led him to dream of becoming a writer and sailing around the world. Howey's influences include Robin Knox Johnston, Bernard Moitessier, and Tania Aebi's book Maiden Voyage.
In addition to his writing, Howey is also an avid photographer and resides in Jupiter, Florida, with his wife Amber and their dog Bella. He takes pride in his ability to create memorable characters and celebrate overcoming odds in his books, which are often classified as science fiction but can be enjoyed by anyone who loves a great story. Howey's works are a testament to his passion for adventure, storytelling, and celebrating the human spirit.
