I couldn’t let Yorkshire Day go by without showcasing some fantastic books that utilise the varied and stunning landscape of the White Rose County. I’ve chosen eighteen books that I think represent Yorkshire literature beautifully. And I’ve tried to represent the different ridings of Yorkshire, too - East, West, and North. Happy reading!

Choosing character and place names for my books isn't as easy as you'd imagine.

Why is it okay for the male characters in books to be moody, brusque, even downright rude, but the female characters have to be nice?
