Welcome to the web page of Matthew Hughes, science fiction and fantasy author.

The new Henghis Hapthorn novel, Hespira, will finally be released by Night Shade Books on April 20. I'll put up the first chapter soon.

A stand-alone Archonate novel, Template, is available from UK-based PS Publishing. The first chapter is on the Book Spot Central site.

The complete Guth Bandar saga, which appeared in several episodes in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, has been published as a novel, The Commons, from Robert J. Sawyer Books. You can read one of the episodes: here.

The first and second Henghis Hapthorn novels, Majestrum and The Spiral Labyrinth, are now available in trade paperback from Night Shade Books. Clink on the links above to read the first chapter of each.
