H.O.WARD
Howard Marshall
Howard Marshall, Pseudonym H.O.Ward originated from Grimsby, now located in North East Lincolnshire, and began working life managing his engineering business, before retiring, and sailing round the Mediterranean Sea. It was while sailing that he began writing poetry and participating in a correspondence writing course.
The course provided Howard with experience of the various disciplines of writing, choosing novel writing as his forte, beginning with short stories to hone is writing ability. Extending his confidence Howard remembered a real life encounter with a tramp in a London bar and decided this encounter would provide the basis for his first novel Doris.
In order to write a comprehensive account of his story, Howard researched the events and places as described in his historic fiction novel to ensure it was lifelike and realistic. He has also adopted the historic fiction genre, and his love for research, for his second book, Across the Parallel, to be launched at the Lincolnshire Authors Christmas Book Fair on 28 November 2021.
Howard writes under the pseudonym H.O.WARD, a play on his name and an idea taken from a 1980’s television advertisement. He still lives in Grimsby, and is a keen supporter and participant, enjoying the friendship and encouragement of the local poetry and writing groups.
