An Interview with Hugh Howey, author of Wool

Hugh Howey
Author of Wool

Robyn and I were super thrilled to have the opportunity to interview bestselling author Hugh Howey for our May 2 episode of Tipsy Nerds Book Club. Hugh is the author of Wool, the 2011 self-published book that made Hugh a publishing sensation.

Hugh parlayed his publishing success into the life of his dreams. He is currently living aboard his boat, Wayfinder, and is sailing around the world. We had a chance to catch up with Hugh while he was docked in Brisbane, Australia.

This was a particularly tipsy episode! Check it out:








The drinks for this episode are both fun and delicious. Hugh's favorite cocktail is an Old Fashioned, so we created a new take on an old drink. You can check out the recipe for "Howey's Old Fashioned" on the Tipsy Nerds website. And inspired by the stratified existence of the dwellers of the silo, Robyn created the "Silo 17 Shooter", a super strong flaming cocktail! Drink at your own risk!
