Another Raffalon novelette
I've sold "Telltale," another novelette about Raffalon the thief, to Gordon Van Gelder at The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
Fans of Raffalon might like to consider purchasing Rogues, the George R.R. Martin/Gardner Dozois anthology of cross-genre stories, when it comes out in mid-June. It contains the original Raffalon tale, "The Inn of the Seven Blessings," and a lot of other fine picaresque ficgtion from a stellar line-up of wordspinners.
The last Martin/Dozois cross-genre antho, Dangerous Women, hit the New York Times bestseler list when it came out last fall. I'm hoping Rogues follows the same trajectory.

"Avianca's Bezel" cover story in Sept/Oct F&SF
My archetypal thief, Raffalon, gets another workout in the upcoming September/October issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. The novelette, "Avianca's Bezel," is also the inspiration for the cover illustration.
Lois Tilton has already reviewed the issue for Locus, and likes the story (although she got the title wrong). She says, "Hughes is always a lot of fun. The series here is happily one that requires no backgrounding in the previous episodes for readers to enjoy fully. Plots and complications, as always, pile up satisfactorily..."
