July 9, 2025: The Otero County Disclosure: A novel for our times, becomes an Amazon.com Kindle #1 Best Seller.
Update: It’s still holding #1 position a week later (15 July). This is fablous news for an unknown, debut author like me. Thank you readers!

July 8, 2025: The big day! The debut novel launched worldwide and hit Amazon #1 Best Seller status within 24 hours in two of its three categories. And it’s still at #1 three days later! If you bought a copy of the book and are reading this…‘thank you!‘.
May 8, 2025: Well, I did my first ever talk, face-to-face with a live audience, as an author, at the Stratford Literary Festival. And what a joy! The book was brilliantly received by a small and friendly audience. I’m grateful to the festival’s organisers for giving me the opportunity. I met fellow authors at different stages in their careers and shared the backstory to my own debut, The Otero County Disclosure. Oh, and I met an MI6 spy… check out my June newsletter to read more.
March 28, 2025: The Otero County Disclosure is now on Amazon Kindle pre-order for a publication date of 8 July (Roswell’s anniversary). Further formats and dates (and prices) to follow…
February 23, 2025: I’m thrilled to say I’ll be talking about my debut novel, The Otero County Disclosure, at this year’s Stratford Literary Festival (8-9 May, 2025), the hometown of Shakespeare! There’s a host of well-known authors, writers, broadcasters and celebrities speaking over the three days. You can check the full calendar of events, here.
I’ll be speaking at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, on Thursday, 8 May, at 7,30pm. You can click the link above to find and buy tickets for any of the many talks, events and workshops taking place.
May be see you there! Give me a shout if you happen to be visiting the festival.
February 3, 2025: I finally launched this website last week and the initial raft of blog posts are being fired off into the world. Hueyhawke.com is the first step to growing my writerly/authorly presence online, ahead of The Otero County Disclosure launching, hopefully this coming June or July (2025).
If you’re reading this and want to know more, either about me, my writing, the book itself, or simply a suggestion for content you’d like me to consider writing (blog posts or short stories, for example) then why not drop me a line, over on my ‘Contact‘ page.
