Peter Tuesday Hughes[1] was an American science fiction and mystery author.
[4] He was the creator of fictional detective Bruce Doe, who featured in six mystery novels that are now considered to "have an unexpected resonance in a post-9/11 world.
"[2] In 2013, the Bruce Doe novels were named one of the ten best gay mystery series by the Lambda Literary Review.
[5] A San Francisco travel agent,[6] Hughes briefly partnered with fellow authors Dirk Vanden, Phil Andros, Richard Amory, Larry Townsend, and Douglas Dean in an attempt to found the first all-gay publishing company, which was to be called The Renaissance Group.
The group was unable to secure funding for the attempt and several of its members ceased publishing shortly thereafter.
