The paperback of my new Dying Earth novel, A GOD IN HIDING, is now live on Amazon at $14.99. amazon.com/dp/192788036X This will be my last tweet. I won't share anything with the likes of Alex Jones.

A God in Hiding, my new Dying Earth novel, is now available on Kobo. kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/a-…

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…

@JeffPatterson11 Apple-flavored Jim Beam did it for me. Somebody got paid for coming up with that?

I swear if Google shows me one more goddamned ad for peanut butter flavored whiskey I will do something unspeakable and no court would convict me.

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

@tomgauld @newscientist For those who enjoy the Bergman reference, here's a link to a 1968 short film parody of Bergmanesque tropes that was nominated for an Oscar: youtube.com/watch?v=L1TlAd… Madelaine Kahn has a cameo in it.

A recent cartoon for @newscientist #chess #robots #death

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…

@charliesuspense @fandsf Goodonya.

The Nov/Dec edition of @fandsf is out now and includes my horror story 'All That We Leave Behind'.

Let me know what you think of it?

Another episode in my autobiography-in-progress, A GUY JUST PASSING THROUGH. This one is called "Pain and Me." @matthewhughes_18174/pain-and-me-39050444eeaf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@matthewhughes…

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

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.

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

Here’s a podcast interview with Karlo and Pete from Podside Picnic, talking about me and Jack Vance, the Dying Earth, and the space-opera universe of the Ten Thousand Worlds. soundcloud.com/user-733327042…

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…

@SapientHetero I thought they sent you directly to the Mailchimp link. Oh, well, another thing to fix when I can finally redo the website. I'm holding off until I see what happens with What the Wind Brings, which would become the main focus.

@hapthorn I read the Kindle versions of Cascor, The Compleat Guth Bandar, all of the Henghis Hapthorn books, Raffalon and Baldemar in the last week. My recollection is that they all directed me to your website.

@hapthorn Big fan of your work since first encountering it in F&SF. Been binging on Kindle versions for the last week. Noticed your website seems to be down and thought you'd want to know. matthewhughes.org

@SapientHetero I should plug the newsletter sign-ups on social media again. Been busy writing a lot. The new sign-ups I do get come from a link at the end of each ebook.

@hapthorn I understand. I was able to pull it up on the Wayback Machine at web.archive.org/web/2023040814…. Newsletter sign-ups won't work without backend cooperation but I can see the site.

@SapientHetero I'll wait until I have one of my tech-savvy sons handy and let him try it. On the other hand, it was only getting two or three visits a day, so it's not a big deal.

@hapthorn The usual approach is to disable all plugins, then test. If your site responds then (even though it may not look right at this point), re-enable your plugins one at a time, testing after each is added, until the culprit is identified. No need to re-disable previously tested ones.
