I'm going to self-pub ebook & ppbk of CASCOR, a collection of stories about a freelance discriminator of the Dying Earth. The collection will have 10 novelettes, totaling 137k words, priced at $4.99 and $14.99.

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.

The collection of Cascor novelettes is now an ebook on Amazon at my usual price of US$4.99. A paperback will soon follow at $15.99. amazon.com/dp/B0CFYSPKZP

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

As always, quietly brilliant.

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.

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 just published Pain and me link.medium.com/byf2CcgLGDb It's part of an autobiography in progress called A GUY JUST PASSING THROUGH that I'm putting up on a web site.

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

Let me know what you think of it?

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…

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.

Later this week, I’ll be sending out my monthly emailed newsletter to a list of folks who are interested in my work. It’s my main way of communicating with readers about what I’m writing. New sign-ups get a free ebook, 9 Tales of Henghis Hapthorn. eepurl.com/cyNSA9

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…

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…
