Made in Yorkshire #4

by James Farner

Twenty-year-old Richard Warren is on the cusp of success. As one of Britain Today’s leading young political journalists, power and influence is his. Under the shadow of increasing violence between the IRA in Ireland and the Cod Wars in Icelandic waters, Richard has stepped onto foundations built from sand. With success in his grip, the newly promoted Chief Constable of Newcastle has his claws locked on Richard’s neck. When family pressures back home in Ledder Bridge appear on the horizon, Richard is trapped between the wants of those above and the needs of those closest to him. Will Richard be able to walk this line or is this one year too long?

About the author

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.

When not writing, he can be found sketching, watching sports, and playing the tin whistle.
