This coming Saturday (November 20th) from 10.30 onwards, I will be in the WH Smith store in Dewsbury promoting one book set in West Yorkshire and signing copies of another set in South Lancashire.

The first, called "No Sand Dunes in Featherstone" is the result of interviews with around one hundred rugby league people in West Yorkshire by Huddersfield University as part of their oral history project. Among those interviewed are Maurice Bamford, Alan Bradford, Morris and Harry Child, Peter Fox, Carl Gibson, Cora and Len Hayley, Karl Harrison, Sam Morton, Mick Sullivan, Billy Thompson and Harry Warham, all characters with an interesting tale to tell.

The second is my fourth novel "One Autumn" which is set during the 1992/93 season with a background of "Work, Family Life and Rugby League."
www.geofflee.net for news of my novels, One Winter, One Spring, One Summer and One Autumn, all written against a strong Rugby League background, set in South Lancashire and inspired by the old saying about work: "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller".
