As an aside, Hugh finally was convinced to get an agent who in turn shopped his work to a number of traditional publishers. The results were amusing to say the least.
I am really looking forward to reading the Wool stories. I have 1-3 so far and have to wait to purchase the rest due to my 2012 reading goal. I don't want to start until I have the most current one. I hate to have to wait.

Thanks for sharing the link. It was interesting to read his post and all the comments. Which made me want to read his books even more.

I'm reading Scorpion House - about 78% through - and enjoying it. I don't know how to describe it, maybe cozy mystery set in Egypt comes closest. It reminds me of one famous Agatha Christie novel.
