Not only did I receive a wonderful 5* review and Q&A by blogger Tom Owens this weekend (linked here), but I was also kindly informed that Black Cross had made it onto its first in-store bookshelf, in Germany. The following photo took my breath away (can you spot it?)…
Now, not only has Black Cross made it into this store and been placed next to GRRM’s book, but it also received a recommendation red card. Now that has taken this to the next level for me. A huge thank you to Julia for ordering Black Cross and putting it on the shelves of Hugendubel, recommending it to her customers there and… AND… for sending me these wicked-cool photos of it all.
One last photo before I sign off and hit the sack…
Born Lancashire, England, J. P. Ashman is a Northern lad through and through. His parents love wildlife, history, fantasy and science fiction, and passed their passion on to him. They read to him from an early age and encouraged his imagination at every turn. His career may be in optics, as a manager/technician, but he loves to make time for writing and reading every day. Now living rurally in the Cotswolds with Wifey and their little Norse Goddess Freya, he's inspired daily by the views they have and the things they see, from the deer in the fields to the buzzards circling overhead.
Writing is a huge part of his life and the medieval re-enactment background and tabletop gaming lend to it; when he's not writing the genre, he's either reading or playing it. He plans to keep writing, both within his current series, and those to come, whether short stories or epic tomes.
