Today we witness the end of Richard Warren’s story. 1984 (Made in Yorkshire Book 7) is set against the backdrop of the miner’s strike where Arthur Scargill led his union against Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Government of the day.
With Richard back living in Yorkshire, and Peter always close by, it’s no surprise that he finds himself stuck in the mud again.
As readers of 1981 (Made in Yorkshire Book 6) will know, Richard has a family now. And trying to form bonds with his young son is at the forefront of his mind.
With enemies from the past closing in around him again, he has more to lose than at any other point in his life.
The End?
Richard’s story is coming to an end with this book, but that doesn’t mean the Made in Yorkshire universe is disappearing into some deep abyss. I’ve always had plans to continue the stories and to expand on what I’ve created.
When you read book seven you’ll see a sneak peek for my next series due out June 18th. Made in Yorkshire The War Years takes place over the duration of the First World War from the perspective of fourteen-year-old Daniel Keeton.
You’ll see ancestors of some old families return for this next series, which will introduce you to the roots of many of your favourite characters. I hope you stick around for this next part of my authoring career.
On a side note, I will still be producing a few more short stories revolving around Richard. These will be added to the anthology as always, so if you haven’t yet signed up for the newsletter, what are you waiting for?
One Day Later
To tell you the truth, I fully intend on revisiting Richard’s family in the modern era one day. It won’t necessarily take place from the perspective of Richard, but I hope to update you on how his family are doing as we get closer to the present day.
When will this happen?
I have no idea. In time, we will see what happens.
Until next time…
