J.J. Overton is from Coventry, in England’s industrial West Midlands. He served an apprenticeship as a precision toolmaker, studied mechanical engineering, and is a Freeman of the City of Coventry. He was a director of Grey and Rushton Precision Tools, and subsequently was involved with quality control, at industrial giants, Alfred Herbert Machine Tools, Massey-Ferguson, and Courtaulds Structural Composites. In later years, before devoting more time to writing, he was a self-employed stained glass artist. His native Warwickshire, with its rich, and sometimes turbulent history, influences his writing. He is married, and has two adult sons.
1768, the Satchwell and Bromwich Iron Foundry . . .
Beneath a pounding tilt hammer, an implement is forged by an apprentice
from a white-hot billet of steel. Thus begins a 250 year history.
The implement is a spade. It is passed down generations of men and women,
and is witness to events as significant as the forging of nations, and as intense
as tilling the soil for survival.
A powerfully told story of people over the ages, their triumphs and their tragedies,
their loves and jealousies.
A thrilling journey, illuminated by the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
