Autorenporträt
Originally from Liverpool, but educated in Bromsgrove (South Bromsgrove High School) where his parents still live, Steve Carter died tragically early in late 2022. A Historian and teacher with degrees from Manchester University, Steve was a Justice of the Peace and Labour Councillor in Macclesfield for many years. This book, with its locus in and around Bromsgrove, was his first novel. It explores themes, locations and characters that will be familiar to many in North Worcestershire, but are of broad appeal to those who like a good tale.
