Olympic silver medallist Jamie Baulch and Dame Rosemary Butler, presiding officer at the National Assembly for Wales, were among the guests at the official launch of Over The Line, the first novel by Freshwater’s chief executive and founder, Steve Howell, who previously worked at the South Wales Argus as a sports reporter.

Taking place at the Priory in Caerleon, a venue which features heavily in the book, Freshwater’s clients, staff, friends and industry peers gathered together to toast the debut novel, which was published at the beginning of the month.

The book is on sale via www.steve-howell.com, www.gwales.com and through independent bookstores and Waterstones. A Kindle version is also available.
