Produktbeschreibung

About the book.

Fate brings about a huge change in the life of Obadiah Shaw when the sturdy fourteen-year old son of a struggling smallholder, saves the life of Mary Ellison, the niece of a small industrialist. Refusing the offer of a reward, he accepts a job at Ellison's Hosiery workshop.

As his love for Mary grows, so does his career. He dares to dream about an entirely new sort of mill community providing much needed housing, employment for all the family and education for the workers children.

Rivals since childhood with Billy Sutcliffe, the local bully, Obadiah's burgeoning career fuels Billy's envy. Rivalry turns to hate and as Obadiah realises his dream, Billy, whose life is falling apart, sets out to wreak havoc and bloody vengeance on Obadiah.

What follows is a battle for survival!

Autorenporträt

I was born and raised in the county of Derbyshire and matured in Yorkshire, England, where I spent a lot of my working life as a Chief Clourist, a Senior Manager in both the textile and chemical industries, a Science teacher and a University lecturer among other things.

A well-known speaker on the Elizabethan era and the history of English glassmaking, I now spend my time writing historical novels, of which to date, comprises of four novels in The Tudor Queen's Glassmaker Series. The books are fast paced adventure stories with a strong love interest.

Martytn Bedford, Award winning author of Houdini Girl desribed them as having a fascinating original historical context with an interesting insight into the world of glassmaking. The backdrop of the story's setting, Venice and London and the 16th century times will be a key part of its appeal to readers.

Recently, inspired by my background in textiles, I began a new series about the Industrial Revolution in the cotton spinning industry. The first cotton spinning mills in the World, were built in the Derwent Valley of Derbyshire in England. The imortance of these mills is reflected in their World Heritage status. The second mill built at Belper, Derbyshire by William Strutt, is the earliest examplke of a fire proof construction.

The first book of the fictional series is provisionally title Revolution, Amber Miils. I hope to have thiis rewady for puplication later in 2016 or ealy next year.
