TOM ASTON

From his bio on Amazon: "Tom Aston grew up near Manchester, England and went on to study Far Eastern Languages at Cambridge. His career has taken him to London and Chicago and he has spent time living in both China and Japan. He has worked in many roles in the book business, including as editor, publisher’s rep and as a bookseller with his own store for twelve years. Now he has discovered the joys of writing and storytelling, his one regret is that he did not start learning his craft as a writer earlier in life."
