edit data

James Farner is a professional writer and draws upon his love of fiction and his love of stories that span generations. His signature series Made in Yorkshire was born out of a desire to find out ‘what happened next?’

At the end of every good film, book, or TV show the characters disappear and that’s the end of them. James isn’t alone in the desire to find out what happened to the characters afterwards.

This is how Made in Yorkshire appeared. Starting from 1953 and driving on to the modern day, James explores the different eras of Britain through his colourful cast of characters.

Prior to writing fiction, he enjoyed a career as a freelance writer. His writing has appeared online, in magazines, and in a variety of other publications.

One Year On…

One year ago I left the UK for the first time. Today is the anniversary of my leaving, to the day. I returned briefly at Christmas to Yorkshire before leaving again. Right now I’m writing this from Sarajevo, the war-torn capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
