Hugh Ashton

Came to Japan from UK in 1988 and have stayed here ever since. Worked as freelance technical writer, journalist, university lecturer (presentation techniques, UNIX guru and occasional fiction writer. My first published novel, Beneath Gray Skies, came out in 2009, and deals with an alternate history in which the American Civil War was never fought. My next novel, Sharpe Practice (working title), will be published in early 2010.
