About this ebook

Set in the Nineteenth Century, and based on factual family history, the story follows James as he makes his way through the trials and tribulations of his life.
As the youngest and weakest son of a large family, he is unable to deal with the harsh rigors of farming, but his way with horses enables him to find a role in the family that is beneficial to all.
His marriage to a local serving girl further establishes himself and family as valued members of the community, but a need for more work eventually drives him to the Industrial Midlands to begin a business there.
As his family grows, he is torn between his Worcestershire home and his business in Staffordshire. But the relative peace and quiet of his home has to compete with the hard labour, dirt and disease that abound in the 'Black Country'.
The Waggoner is a family saga built upon the abilities of one man and how he deals with the problems of life as he encounters them.

Chris Bullock

Chris Bullock was born in 1950 in the heart of the Industrial Midlands in Staffordshire. Educated at Wednesbury Boys High School and then received a B.A. degree in Mathematics at York University, he started a career in Computing/Information Technology in 1971. Married in 1974, to Barbara, and bringing up his family in Derby sparked off his interest in genealogy. After moving home, on promotion, to Cardiff, Wales and then subsequently to Cambridge with his employer, British Telecom, he retired from his career after 27 years, whilst living near Colchester. His interest in Family History then prompted the desire to create interesting and entertaining stories around the dry bones of his genealogical research, and Bridget Coen, his great, great grandmother, was dramatically reborn in his debut historical romance. In his spare time, Chris keeps chickens and ducks, practices the violin, does wood turning and travels around Europe.
