(1888PressRelease)
September 18, 2007 - 1880: a pit in Seaham, North of England, exploded and 163 miners died. An episode that marked life in the small town and the whole mining history.
It has turned now in a novel, Harry Hanson and the Seaham pit disaster.
The story, by Stephen Ward, starts form the miners’ death, going through the investigation for its causes. A good piece of history and a perfect image of England with its exclusive clubs as opposed to the humble life of miners, both being such a relevant part in the developing of the country.
Stephen Ward, a nurse, has always been fond of books and after a life reading, he has finally created his own character, Harry Hanson, protagonist of this and more stories to be published soon.
The story moves fast, many well-painted characters being the outlines for Harry’s thoughts and actions. That’s him, though, who fascinates showing the writer’s ability to depict perfectly personalities and scenes. Yet, throughout the book, a sense of a subtle suspicion and innuendos pervades.
Ward – modestly but neatly – writes the first episode of the Harry Hanson’s saga, with wit, elegance and balance, leaving a sense of bitterness in waiting for the next story.
The book is published by Authorhouse. It is available on amazon at $17.99. A web site for the author and the book will be ready shortly. For any further information, please contact Authors Promotion at authors-promotion.com.
