Biography

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.

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

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.
