Product Description
Newcastle 1908. Turning down a proposal of marriage from her older employer is perhaps the first mistake in Ellie Martin's young life. Leaving the professor and running back to a family in trouble is the second. A new beginning awaits them in Durham, but at what cost? Her mother, with a dark secret in her past, mysteriously obtains jobs for her men in an iron foundry - and Ellie finds the magic she dreams of with Adam, son of the iron-master of ill-repute. However, the hatred harboured by Ellie's mother for the Rockwells leads Ellie to believe that she is in love with her half-brother. And so she returns to Newcastle and tries to ignore her heart. Then Adam goes to war. But will love save the day?
From the Author
Writing The Iron Master was a joy, mainly because it allowed me to travel not only in space, but in time, back to my roots. Such nostalgia was awakened in me as I created characters that were so like the real people in my own life up there in the northeast of England.
Like many writers, I fell in love with all my characters and they became my family. Ellie and Adam and the rest of the cast of
The Iron Master will forever remain fondly in my heart, as will the characters in all my books.
I had been writing, with little success, for as long as I can remember, until three years ago when I had a novella accepted. Since then I have had seven novellas accepted for publication and two ‘proper’ books.
The Iron Master was the first ‘proper’ book and will be followed in 2004 by the publication of
When Tomorrow Comes – a warm family saga set in the war years of the forties and I hope my readers will love Hildie Thompson as much as I do as she doles out love and kindness to her family and friends while harbouring a lost dream in her own heart.
Well, my dream of becoming a published writer is, I hope, just beginning. I have many more stories in me just bursting to come out and I hope my readers get as much pleasure from reading them as I do writing them.
