I'm a writer living in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England. In a past life I was a commercial scriptwriter and film-maker. I'm still fond of film, but love writing. I hope that readers will download my free short ebooks and get a taste of how I write, and if it's to your liking let me know. If it isn't then you can also tell me - all feedback is good feedback. Subscribe to my blog and get advance notification of new short stories or novels. I will also be posting stuff that I find interesting or quirky. Any comments on my blog appreciated at http://www.jdhugheswriter.wordpress.com as are any reviews of my stories. NORTHMAN, my exciting supernatural/timeslip/ romance/ horror thriller is out now, but only on Amazon at the moment. Free chapters: http://wp.me/s24Exb-northman and http://wp.me/p24Exb-77 Amazon links: US: http://tiny.cc/dfcfow UK: http://tiny.cc/77bfow It's quite a fat book. With lots of pages. Think Dan Brown meets Stephen King in a Celtic village with several fly-by-wire Tornado aircraft and a dead Viking berserker, coupled with a timeless romance and unspeakable evil...then forget the bit about Dan Brown and Stephen King and buy the book, which I hope you will find well worth it. http://www.jdhugheswriter.wordpress.com Follow me on Twitter @JDHughes4 http://about.me/J.D.Hughes Also on Goodreads and LinkedIn.
