Bryan Michael Hughes is an author and lifelong vocalist. Having told stories on stage for years, he found fulfillment in recording written family anecdotes. This led to the creation of fiction in earnest in 2021. Since then, he has completed five novels, a short-story collection inspired by his readers, a motivational memoir, and a children’s story.
Reflecting his own experience, novels offer inspiring characters who overcome struggles to balance life and mental health. These characters often possess special abilities and paint detailed pictures in the reader’s mind of their personalities, surroundings, and paths through challenges. Children’s stories feature whimsical characters who often find themselves outside societal norms. Facing obstacles, they allow young readers a friend-like connection and greater confidence in themselves.
Highlighting themes of self-love, care for others, and overcoming adversity, Bryan’s writing spans all genres and is a roller-coaster ride of emotion that leaves a smile and a warm heart as the protagonists triumph in the end.
A saying that informs his life and work is, “Words Matter. You Matter…Always.”
Bryan currently lives near Holden Beach, NC, with his wife, Jackie, and two fur kids, Dolly Barkin and Porter Wagger.

NEW RELEASE!
It's not a memoir, short-story collection, or self-help. Could it be all three?
What would your inner voice tell you about how you've lived your life? Author Bryan Michael Hughes shares unique tales that have taken him from the mountaintops of life to depths that almost killed him.
Bryan's persistent inner voice that brings both protection and misery, as well as encouragement and vitriol, talks with him openly about how "their lives" have played out so far.
Entertaining and motivating, the stories will likely bring a lot of smiles, a few frowns, and some tears. A conversation that will invite you to talk with your own inner voice, this book might push you out of your comfort zone. However, if you want to find more joy and love than you ever thought possible, it might be time for some Reflection.
What is the current work in progress?
Two brothers with polar opposite personalities learn their father has passed away. Believing he never amounted to anything, they find he has left them enough money to spread his ashes in several locations.
"It's your choice," their father has said from beyond the grave.
What they could learn about him, and themselves, could be life changing, but will they choose to take the risk?
A story of what remains when those we love leave.
Expected to print in the fall of 2026.
