1981 (Made in Yorkshire Book 6) is out now and Richard is preparing to deal with the darkest part of his life yet. After a successful stint in the five years after his release from HMP Pentonville, he must come to terms with the fact he is expendable.
When London gangster Scotty Weston decides he has served his purpose, Richard finds himself cast into the streets of London.
How Low Can You Go?
For the first time, Richard must come to terms with the fact he has nowhere to go. He isn’t on speaking terms with his brother and his family want nothing to do with him. The money has run out and Thatcherism has weighed down heavily on the country, leaving unemployment rife and homeless numbers rising.

The End is Nigh
Yes, the penultimate Made in Yorkshire story represents a new low for Richard. Yet it also represents a crucial part in his life. He hasn’t always lived a good life and for the first time he has to pay for his actions. Through a path of suffering and hardship, we come to the final part of Richard’s story, 1984 (Made in Yorkshire Book 7).
People who know anything about this period in British history are well aware 1984 was the year of the big miner’s strike, where thousands of working miners went to war against Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government. We have seen nothing like it since, and are unlikely to see anything like it again.
