About the Author Steven developed a passion for maritime history at an early age, growing up near the Essex coast where the legacy of Britain's naval tradition was ever-present. Like his main character, he was going out and working on boats, from a very early age. With a background in engineering and a lifelong fascination with wooden boats, Steven brings authentic technical detail and historical accuracy to "The Wartime Adventures of James Hartley." The Inspiration "I've always been drawn to the stories of ordinary people who did extraordinary things during wartime," says Steven. "The small boat yards along Britain's coast played a crucial role in the war effort, yet their contributions are often overlooked in historical accounts. James Hartley's journey from apprentice boat builder to naval officer reflects the experience of many young men who used their practical skills to serve their country." Research Process To capture the authentic details of pre-war boat building and naval technology, [Your Name] spent countless hours researching in maritime archives, interviewing veterans, and studying the design plans of vessels from the period. "Getting the technical details right was essential," Steven explains. "Readers who know boats will recognise when something isn't authentic, so I immersed myself in the maritime world of the 1930s." What's Next Steven is currently working on the second book in the James Hartley series, which will follow our protagonist through his experiences in Motor Torpedo Boats during the early years of World War II. "The small craft war in the English Channel was a desperate, high-stakes conflict fought by brave men in remarkably small vessels," Steven notes. "I'm excited to continue James's story through these pivotal historical events."
