My new historical fiction series

The Eagle Quartet which is a follow on series to Secret Lives 

Also currently researching and collecting information for

Garthorpe and Fockerby

A History

Garthorpe and Fockerby at War is now out of print so rather than lose that information I thought I would put together a comprehensive History of Garthorpe & Fockerby with the help of two local history experts, Ian and Carol Whaley and, of course, you. The idea is to include the military information amongst other history about the farms, school, churches, businesses, events, memories, anecdotes, etc and, of course, photos from the residents.

Most people think their memories are insignificant, that they aren’t important enough to be in a book, but they are part of our history and as such should be documented, or they will be lost. If you or members of your family have memories, anecdotes, stories or photos of life in the villages, maybe things you were told by your grandparents, great-grandparents or even further back, I would love to include them in your book. All royalties from sales of this book will be shared between village groups/causes etc I’m just there to put it all together and publish it.

You can either email the stories to me or record them and send a voice file to garfochistory @ gmail.com (remove the spaces to email me).

Please include your name and a rough date so I know where to include it and put a message in the main body of the email or I will think its spam All anecdotes, memories, stories, photos etc will be attributed to the contributor in the book unless you state otherwise. If you want to remain anonymous in the book that’s fine, but I do need your name, so I know its genuine.
