A Yorkshire mill town in the closing years of the nineteenth century. A place of poverty and pollution, where political tensions are rising against the backdrop of the Boer War. A local landowner has died in mysterious circumstances. Who stands to gain? His brother perhaps, keen to sell land to a railway company seeking a foothold in the town. Detective Sergeant Rino Rossi of the borough CID needs to tread carefully in order to discover whathas happened.

Borders and frontiers seem interchangeable but in fact they are separate entities. In Contention City To Stalingrad the author explores both physical borders in some less visited parts of the world from South Lebanon to the North West Frontier of Pakistan and frontiers at home both cultural and economic. The book takes the reader from the Canal Zone in Panama to Britain's oldest Rugby League stadium, from hunting with fell hounds high in the Lake District to some of the last truly amateur sports: Bull Running in Pamplona and Bore Surfing on the Severn. William Hartley is a former soldier, author and freelance writer.

Spores is a collection of seventeen short stories. Whilst they cover a variety of themes there is more than a hint of the supernatural about some of them. They owe a little to the influence of MR James, master of the ghost story and also the weird tales of Fritz Leiber. The rise of the reality television programme and the dire consequences of getting involved form the basis of two stories. Humour black or otherwise does have a part to play elsewhere. Although the locations when mentioned are various, the North of England gets a good showing. William Hartley is a freelance writer and researcher, the author of more than seventy articles and several books.
