Tips for writers from Hugh Howey, as shared on his blog.

This isn't a story about how the girl and the guy fall in love as the world crumbles around them. This story isn't about a weak girl who seeks out the help of a handsome stranger because she can't defend herself. If that's what you want, go find another softie to tell you it, 'cause this isn't what it's about. My name is Maia, and I am surviving the Haze one day at a time. I am a sixteen-year-old nomad who travels all over Texas, running from the Haze with my twin. It's been six months since the Haze began, and it's only getting worse. More and more people are being taken over by parasites that wish to destroy humanity. We don't know why, and we don't know what they are, or what they want. They're trying to destroy us, to get us to turn on one another. But I'm not going down without a fight.

#1 for a month on the Fantasy-Action Hotlist. Wattys2015 Winner. Fourteen-year-old Luisa is focused on staying under the radar at her rough London school, relieved that the summer holidays are soon to begin. Exploring the ruin of an abbey at night, Luisa falls into the underground land of Cataindar. The catains are a cat-like race, possessing powers and magic that most humans could only dream of. They have been expecting her. As the catain abbot guides Luisa through their world, Luisa finds out that things in Cataindar are not quite as they seem. Old secrets are discovered, new loyalties are forged and a dark truth puts Luisa's life in terrible danger. Cataindar is the first in a planned series involving talking cats, giant rats and an ancient power that will change the world as we know it forever.

When seventeen year-old Runner was sentenced to death for stealing a loaf of bread in MegaCity One, his dreams were literally at an end. But then he opts to sign up for the Remnants of Men, a government sanctioned search for a rumoured fresh water lake beyond a radiated wasteland. At first, it seemed like a second chance to a new life, the transformation from zero to hero. But after an encounter with a rabid gang of men suffering an acute insanity, he soon comes to understand that he is one of many discarded into the wasteland to study the cannibalistic effects of a new drug called the Sixth Sense. Olivia Patterson has had one too many doses of the Sixth Sense and owes a massive debt to a shadowy rebel and loan shark called Death-Throe. Being the daughter of the City's dictator, she knows too well that the gallows awaits any who associates with the rebel. In an attempt to free herself, she acquires an asset in the form of Runner and finds herself always at the edge, for if he survives it means freedom for both, but if he dies...

The queen who thirsts for not only beauty, but power. She hides a beast of endless hunger behind her mask of beauty. The girl who lost her past at the queen's hands, and whose future depends on the whim of her captor, her stepmother. The girl, who will be free one day. It's the story you know, the story you don't. Playing around with fantasy. It's not a Twilight sort of thing. This is more Stoker. P.S. I suck at writing blurbs, so I can promise that the story is better is better than the blurb.
