Matthew Hughes’ new web site<\/a> went live a week or so ago, and since I built it I’m pretty happy to say that it hasn’t blown up since then. Except for a few minutes this morning, anyhow, when I dove in and tinkered with it in an almost<\/em> non-destructive way.<\/p>\n

(I can remember a day about fifteen years ago when I really did say<\/em> "I wonder what this <\/em>does…." just before I pushed a button that I really, really should not have pushed.)<\/p>\n

But all that aside, I’m an admirer of Hughes’ books – particularly his Archonate<\/em> stories – and so it was a genuine pleasure to work on his site. If you<\/em> don’t admire him yet then the best way to change that is to visit the site yourself; there’s a large collection of excerpts from his books<\/a> there, among other things.<\/p>\n

"Other things" will eventually include an online store where you can purchase digital versions of his back list novels. We’re just waiting until the first couple of them are ready before the store goes live on the site.<\/p>\n

Also of interest is a series of posts labeled "On Writing<\/a>" which are just what you’d expect, but better.<\/p>\n

This project gave me a chance to get to know a lot of the more recent additions to WordPress and coincidentally gave me a chance to swear like a sailor over a long period. “Coincidentally” doesn’t mean that there’s no connection there, of course.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
