HUGH’S DEBUT BOOK

Fadeaway Joe is the kind of noir I love: smart, tight, and just the right amount of gritty before giving way to the depths of human connection. The way Hugh builds the relationship between Joe and Paula is excellent, and by the end you’ll be hoping this isn’t the last we see of them together.”

— Rob Hart, award-nominated author of "The Warehouse" and "The Paradox Hotel"

NOIR FICTION

TALES OF CRIME AND REDEMPTION

EVERYDAY CHARACTERS IN EXTRAORDINARY SITUATIONS

Hugh crafts stories that snake through the rain-slicked alleys of human nature. Twenty years of chasing leads as a reporter taught him one thing: reality cuts deeper than fiction.

His characters? They're the people you pass on the street, trapped in tales where redemption comes at a price, and salvation wears brass knuckles.

Hugh's stories bear witness to the shadows we all carry, the choices that haunt us, the moments when the devil on our shoulder whispers in our ears.
