Weldon Author publishes his seventeenth e-book

Andrew Wareham published his first historical novel, The Privateersman, on Kindle and Kobo and most other electronic platforms two years ago. It was the first in the ‘Poor Man at the Gate’ series which has been highly successful in America. On free download to introduce the series, The Privateersman has had more than 75000 readers, many of whom have bought into the other nine so far published.

Drew has also published five novels in the ‘Duty and Destiny’ naval fiction series and the first of the ‘Making of a Man’ series as well as Longway Place, set in colonial New Guinea. All three of Drew’s series have been critically acclaimed, with more than three hundred four and five-star reviews so far. Drew is a widower and lives in Weldon with his son and daughter, three St Bernards and a neurotic English Mastiff. He has always been fascinated by history and by storytelling, graduating in Social Sciences and teaching Economics and Economic History for a several years before becoming a Reserve Policeman in Papua, New Guinea, for over a decade and then working some years in the Middle East.

The period of the Regency and the early Victorian years has always been Drew’s favourite, as so much happened then. He dabbled in writing for years and then decided to really see what he could do just three years ago. Now, he has too little time and too much to do, and is enjoying himself more than ever. While readers keep asking him for more, he shall keep writing, aided enormously by his agent at the Electronic Book Company.

A Victorian Gent: Naïve Dick Burke is hoodwinked into marrying a manhungry aristocrat’s daughter who just seven months later produces a son! It’s the start of a long humiliation that sees Dick flee to America as the Civil War looms.

The bitter conflict allows him to excel – thus lessening his sense of inadequacy. His dealings with Elizabeth, an alluring American businesswoman, also help him to regain self-respect; however, the problem of his ‘unholy wedlock’ still remains.
