Many of his influences include that of Robin Knox Johnston, and Bernard Moitessier, as well as a book called Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebi, which is one of his greatest influences, because it essentially emulates his own dream to become a permanent resident on the big, wide seas. Here’s just a bit about how Hugh Howey’s career kicked off. As a self-p. Hugh Howey is the author of over 78 books across 18 series.
