My new Dying Earth novel, A God in Hiding, now available on Amazon as a Kindle ebook, with the typographical screw-up fixed. I’m working on a ppbk, trying to solve a glitch with bleeds and margins beyond my skill-set. I’ll try to get a Kobo launch today. amazon.com/God-Hiding-Mat…

My new Dying Earth novel, A God in Hiding, launches today on Amazon. A typesetting glitch that wasn’t apparent in the pdf file involves the oversize letter that begins each chapter. I will get it fixed. Meanwhile, I’ll get the paperback underway. amazon.com/God-Hiding-Mat…

If you liked my characters, Baldemar the wizard's henchman and Nachecko the necromancer, I think you'll like Banda the mute porter. Intrigue and derring-do by a sympathetic struggler.

Last year, I partnered with a talented voice artist to create an audiobook edition of my Baldemar story collection. Harry Frost did a wonderful job of giving life to the characters. He has now posted an extended sample of the audiobook on YouTube. youtube.com/watch?v=6VPsEW…

I love these cartoons, especially the book-related ones that run every Saturday in The Guardian.

Some folks never learn. Ever notice that tornadoes always strike the Bible Belt? Wake up! God's on the line!

Robert Runté gives my Cascor collection a review in The Ottawa Review of Books. “What elevates Hughes beyond other writers--besides dark humor, convincing world-building, and clever mysteries--is his riotous word play." He compares me to Dr. Seuss. 😲 ottawareviewofbooks.com/single-post/ca…

I mostly don't brag, but this is a tightly written little book that, I think, captures the diverse worldviews of three main characters: an Alberta farm boy, an Arab prince, and a Metis girl running a trapline. Plus, there's a mama grizzly. And it's a finalist for an award.

The collection of Cascor novelettes is now live as a POD paperback on Amazon, priced at US$15.99. My usual price is $14.99, but this book is fatter than most of mine (495 pages) so Amazon’s printing cost is higher. amazon.com/dp/1927880386

Here’s the cover art for CASCOR, a collection of 10 novelets about a freelance discriminator (P.I.), most of which ran in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. It should be available on Amazon et al in the next couple of days I made it myself using an AI image generator.
