SFFWorld Members big Blog thread

How would that work? This thread kind of does that already, letting everyone know when others have published stuff. What were you thinking beyond that? (I'm pretty new to blogging, so sorry if I'm asking basic questions.)

PW review of One More Kill

Publishers Weekly has given a positive review to my suspense novel, One More Kill, now shipping from UK publisher PS Publishing in a high-quality hardcover. A paperback edition and an ebook are waiting for a deal with a North American publisher, with whom I hope to get something finalized soon.

PW review highlights: “Intriguing plot twists drive this page-turner from Hughes . . . does a masterly job of making a cold-blooded killer sympathetic.”

George R.R. Martin also kindly gave me a blurb: "Fans of Lawrence Block's Keller stories are going to love One More Kill. I certainly did. Matt Hughes kept me up all night, turning pages."

One little hitch: PW thinks I'm the same Matt Hughes who used to be a mixed martial arts champion. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I've sent them a correction.

I was wondering who that guy was first time I entered your name on Amazon's search bar. Looking at his Wikipedia page, he doesn't seem an intelligent psychopath, so how could he be the author.

Well, last year he ran his pickup truck into a train, or vice versa. So that's a clue.

So he's a performance artist then. Cool! Are you sure you don't want to be him?

 

[Matthew Hughes]

Quite sure. It's hard enough being me.

As the latest story about Baldemar the wizard's henchman runs in the May/June issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, I've done an interview with F&SF's Stephen Mazur.

I've begun a new section on my blog called Non/Fiction. The idea is, authors of my acquaintance talk about one fiction and one non-fiction work, ideally with links to one another. The first is the excellent Andrew Hook.
Authors here at SFF World who I know are welcome to approach me.
