I have recently come to live in the area and am the author of six novels all set against a strong Rugby League background. Among the media people who have spoken well of my material are Tony Collins, Ray French, Dave Hadfield, Tony Hannan, Phil Howard, Mike Stephenson, and Graham Williams. See my web site for their comments.
http://www.geofflee.netI have also written three pages of general advice for anyone wanting to write a novel based on their own life and times which is basically what I have done. If you would like me to send you these sheets just contact me at
