WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF JOSHUA HAMPTON

“From the very beginning, I was drawn into a wonderfully crafted world of unimaginable and unique creatures, landscapes, and song! From Bildgermuck the dhogler who looks nothing like Man, but is more noble than most, to Caldyr, the Man most want to be, to Grimfox, who seems to be evil incarnate, but one I couldn’t help but feel some compassion for, I couldn’t nail down my favorite character. “I really enjoyed reading this, and I look forward to reading it again. I can’t wait for Book II. I highly recommend this book!”

“King Arthur’s chivalric ideals mixed with the bloody grit and adventure of Howard’s Conan stories—where prose and poetry come together to create a fantastical world that’s comfortably familiar, but altogether new. Mature, thought-provoking and always exciting, Crowns of Silver & Ash is exactly what you’d hope for from the speculative genre at a time when YA lit and modern fantasy seem to be all that crowd the bookshelves.”

From Amazon.com

“From the first page, every carefully chosen word draws you into the land of Andulen. The tale is told from many point of views, all of which add their own flavors and dimensions to the story. There are epic accounts of adventure, flowing poems and songs that beg to be read aloud, and touching moments of tenderness. The web of relationships between heroes and villains alike set the stage for many adventures to come. So step into the Two Trees Inn, grab a pint of frothy ale along side Bildgermuck, and settle in for a very well told tale!”

First, I was hooked when I read the author’s excerpt from his personal web page. I encourage anyone considering this book to first visit the website listed to check out the excerpt. (It even introduces the Seven Stars of Andulen!) This book comes highly recommended and I cannot wait for Book 2!”

From Amazon.com

“Do yourself a favor and read Crowns of Silver and Ash. You’ll be transported to a land both exciting and terrifying. Not a page goes by without a new revelation about the denizens or landscape of Andulen. A few pages will be enough to grab you by the imagination and not let you go. Maybe, after reading Book I, you too will yearn for the next chapter in this fantastic odyssey. It can’t arrive too soon to suit me. This is a novel to be read and savored by anyone who has adventure in their heart. Enjoy the journey!”
