JACK ABSOLUTE RETURNS TO AMERICA!
Yes, he’s back. What the Good Book Guide in the UK called: ‘The finest series of historical novels since Patrick O’Brian’ is published in the USA on May 7th.
Meet the real Jack Absolute – not the comic captain from Sheridan’s play ‘The Rivals’. Meet the Redcoat. The Mohawk. The Lover. The Spy.
OPENING LINE:
“The snow lay deep on Hounslow Heath and the light was fading fast.”
“An absolute delight! Swashbuckling adventure, eighteenth-century wit, hugely entertaining plots, and one of the most appealing military gentlemen ever to wear a sword.” Diana Gabaldon – Author of the Outlander and Lord John Grey series.
AND STILL OUT IN THE UK AND CANADA:
OPENING LINE:
“The End of Time came on a Wednesday – and Jack was missing it!”
“C. C. Humphreys takes you into a swashbuckling world you’ll never want to leave.” Kate Mosse, Author of Labrynth.
OPENING LINE:
“A frigid wind blew off the shore, sending the waves that had crashed against the dock back across the harbour, bobbling the ships there like apples in a barrel of cider.”
I very much enjoyed Armageddon. I found it in a Victoria book store (can’t recall the name, but it is on the main drag), while on vacation from Texas. One of my greatest delights, during our annual visits to Victoria, is visiting that bookstore (best ever) finding new authors (that, for some reason, don’t make it to the states). I’m looking forward to reading more of your works. Thanks
Thanks, Tim. Great to know I have at least one fan in Texas. Actually Armageddon just came out in the US. ‘Vlad’ came out last year.
The bookstore is Munro’s. One of my favourites.
Best,
Chris
Jack Absolute is awsome man, keep up the great writeing dude.
Glad you liked him. I’ll try!
I have become a Jack Absolute fan…One of the best historical fiction series I’ve come across in some time. Outstanding work all around. Please tell me we will see more of Jack.
Glad to hear it. I am always plotting the return of Jack and have a sequel in mind to the first book. Now, if these durn publishers will just give me a little space… coming soonish I hope!
Have just read Jack Absolute. Loved it. Is it the first of the series. What order should I read them in?
Yes indeed Dianne – first of a series of …three so far! I got distracted into Medieval world but keep promising to return to Jack, who I love. Soon I hope. Read The Blooding next – the first prequel.

I’m a Jack Absolute fan too and have read all 3. Anxious for more. John
I have a plan! Am thinking of getting another Jack out soonish!
I attended your OWC inspirational workshop in Portland (year or two ago ? on Hayden Island). I am just now reading Jack Absolute and enjoying everything about it. Thanks! Sandy
Thanks, Sandy. So pleased you enjoyed both class and book.
