This episode of Big Blend Radio's Books Forward "Writer's Wednesday" Show features author Ashby Jones who discusses his historical fiction novel "The Crossing," a stand-alone sequel to "The Angel’s Lamp," his first novel. In "The Crossing," Irish-born Johnny Flynn, a former British soldier, is banished from his homeland and sent to America on a ship so riddled with disease that he realizes the voyage was meant to murder him. When he survives the trip, the captain forces him to walk the plank into the Hudson River. Hell’s Kitchen, Johnny discovers, is thronged with people whose damaged hearts ache for revenge, repentance and love.
This Big Blend Radio Show features authors and writers every second Wednesday.
