It is now nearly a year since the first Rotherham LOCKDOWN book was published. It has been a tough year for many of us, who have suffered in the pandemic, suffered from loss, and suffered from isolation. However, from the very first, our NHS has striven to meet the demands of a sudden and deadly disease which brought the world to it’s knees.

It was in the spirit of thanking the NHS, that we started to release these LOCKDOWN books, with any profits going wholly to Rotherham NHS and the Sheffield Hospitals Charity.

We are happy to report that, at present, thanks to those of you who have bought these titles, that we have raised just over £400 for Rotherham and £620 for Sheffield, giving a grand total of £1020. If you have bought any of those books, thank you sincerely, for you have personally contributed to the well being of critically ill people of Rotherham and Sheffield during this dark time.

Thankfully we are now on our way out of the worst of Covid-19. We have no current plans for further LOCKDOWN books, but you can be sure there are still plenty of stories that Victorian Yorkshire’s past has to tell us. The reception of the Sheffield’s Evil Women book has been very good, and if you ever wanted to know more about Rotherham’s Scamps and Scallywags, you wont have to wait long.

Feel free to share this status, if you have contributed or want to raise awareness, as any sales from those books will be donated in the future too. A link to all the books on Amazon is right here:
