Dennis Hughes

Dennis cannot recall a day that writing was not a part of. He wrote to earn a living and writes to enhance his life. He enjoyed a successful corporate career in sales and marketing and was the founding director of a Melbourne (Australia) based advertising agency prior to returning to his hometown, Brisbane, Queensland. His collection of fifteen short stories was inspired by experiences and imagination, and he hopes you enjoy them.
