Books by Wayward Milne
These are not books written from a safe distance. They are built from real thoughts, awkward questions, unexpected memories and the things people usually edit out.
BOOK ZERO
Wayward Milne Opens the Door
The Beginning Before the Beginning
Before the numbered books begin, Wayward Milne sits down with Colin for an unusually honest conversation about the person, the name and the ideas behind the songs, books, games and everything still to come.
Part interview, part introduction and part explanation of something that is still becoming whatever it is going to become.
Why Book Zero? Because every beginning has something that happened before it.

BOOK ONE
WHY WE’RE ALL F**KED
The Difference Between What You Earn and What You Keep
Most people believe that if they work hard, keep their head down and do the right things, it will all add up in the end.
This book tests that belief.
A lifetime is examined through work done, money earned, money lost and money quietly taken along the way—from childhood jobs paid in coins to decades of employment, self-employment, business ownership, collapse and recovery.
There is no single villain. No conspiracy. No moment when everything suddenly went wrong.
This is not a book about failure. It is a book about arithmetic.
