Wool 
 is a post-apocalyptic thriller  that has been receiving a ton of positive reviews this week, andMr. Howey is currently embarking on an 12-city national book tour, so it is quite exciting that he isable to stop into our corner of the publishing world. Aside from the praise the book has received, it has garnered significant attention for Mr. Howey'sbackstory this week in
Wall Street Journal 
,
Huffington Post 
. He got a unique start in publishing,writing third-shift while working 30-hours a week at a college bookstore. He initially sold his bookfor less than a dollar on Amazon in a serial format, which started to receive a ton of reads andbuilt anticipation. Most recently, he spurned seven-figure offers from all the major publishinghouses in favor of Simon & Schuster as long as he could retain the digital rights to his work. Lastyear, Howey was the most popular author on Amazon with over five thousand reviews. As if that were not enough, Ridley Scott bought the film rights and with recent success of "TheHunger Games," it would not be surprising to see
Wool 
 serialized and built as both a book andfilm franchise.If you have time we invite you to please come by and take part in this wonderful opportunity toconnect and meet with a high-profile author.
