Hugh Finch

I’m a novelist. My new book, Churchill’s Freudian Slip: A World War II Spy Thriller, arrives November 21, 2026. London, September 1939: Churchill has one hour with a dying Freud, a cable nobody can verify, and a plot that runs through sixteen pages of poison bound for four million American homes.

My first novel, Arctic Revelation, reached #1 on Amazon in Crime & Mystery Science Fiction and in Psychological Thrillers. I donated 100% of its royalties to NAMI — every cent, from the first copy onward.

Before the books: political science at UNC–Chapel Hill and the University of Copenhagen. A DDS and an MBA from Stony Brook University, where I later served as Assistant Dean of Admissions and Student Affairs at the School of Dental Medicine. I own a dental practice in Connecticut, where I live with my wife and our two children.

On the desk now: AI Revelation, the sequel to Arctic Revelation.
