DEBUT NOVEL FROM MENSTON AUTHOR
A
My name is Robert Young and I have lived in Menston for the past twenty years. Seven years ago I decided out of the blue to write a novel, there's one in all of us right? Well a year later and the very rough manuscript was finished, of sorts. I decided to get the book pro-edited before I approached an agency or publishers, and to be honest it was money well spent. I learned a lot from the editor and it gave me the confidence to post it off to a number of London agents, twenty five in total. One by one the rejection letters came back, knocking my ego and making me wonder if the book was as good as I thought it was.
Th
Unperturbed I decided to carry on writing and wrote book two, a follow on from the first novel and what now formed part of a seven book series, or at least that was the plan. Two years later, research trips to Rome, New York and Luxor Egypt (my wife didn't mind this part of the process) and I'd completed books three and four.
two years to publish your book. Could be on day one, could be on day seven hundred and thirty. What happened knocked me for six... Two weeks before the book was due to be published, about a year later, the publishers went bust and I was sent back the intellectual rights to my story... Square one it would seem.
Late one night on line, there's plenty of those in the life of an author, I came across an independent publisher from Salisbury who it seemed would be a perfect fit for my novels... Sorry I should have mentioned, the books were and are aimed at the young adult market, I guess you'd call them historical fantasy, hence the Roman and Egyptian trips.
I'll admit it, I sulked for six months, licking my wounds and played the victim.
Long story short, I signed a two-year deal with the publishers and felt pretty smug. Now all that sounds great, but what it means in reality is the publisher has
I wrote a couple of short stories in the meantime and both of them were published in anthologies, confidence restored somewhat. I was then approached on social media (Facebook) by a publisher in Glasgow who where keen to put out 'Angel's Recruit' the first in the series. I'd put my website www.auctoratus up on the site and they'd taken a shine to it. OK, another long story short...
I signed the paperwork and sure enough at the beginning of March this year the book was released on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle, I was delighted. The feeling of euphoria however didn't last long.... A week after publication and they too went into liquidation. Right now I was feeling like I was Mr Jinx and the book was some kind of evil script which wasn't meant to reach the masses. What do you know an hour after I'd received the 'We're very sorry...' Email, yet another publisher approached me and offered to put 'Angel's Recruit' in to print... I was naturally sceptical. Well, I'm pleased to say this story does gave a happy ending. The book went straight to number one in the young adult charts on Amazon and guess what? Yes the publishers are still solvent! They want to publish the entire series and I've recently agreed (crossing my fingers).

HAVE I SEEN A RARITY? Summer is the most confusing time of year for new birdwatchers and it’s the time when I get the most calls, emails and photos about ‘mystery’ birds. Many people are convinced that they’ve seen something rare as they are not able to find an image of the bird they’ve seen in their fieldguide (their bird book). Has this happened to you? Here’s why.
you’ll struggle to identify it.
When people start to become interested in birds they (understandably) choose a fieldguide that shows them some pretty pictures. These are usually photographs. To ensure that the book is small enough to fit in your pocket, the photo has to be a decent size to provide any detail. The most colourful bird is usually the male so you get one large photo of a male and not much of anything else. Even if you have smaller photos or drawings of alternative plumages, they are very small so your eye is drawn to the large photo.
So why does this time of year produce additional problems? Firstly, after bringing up their brood of chicks, both male and female birds look pale, worn and tatty. If we take the blue tit as an example, one pair totalled 600 sorties per day when feeding a large brood of chicks. As they move in and out of the hole, the outer edges of their feathers become so worn that it affects the colour and shape of the adult birds. I have quite a few calls from people who are so certain that they’ve seen a crested tit in their local woodland because of this very situation. Does your fieldguide tell you where these birds can be found?
With some species of birds, both male and female are alike but with many birds, the male and female are different. This is called sexual dimorphism. So, if your fieldguide fits the description above and you’ve seen a female bird, then chances are
Secondly, think of all those fledged youngsters that are now fending for themselves. What do they look like? Blue tit babies are yellow where the adult’s white patches usually are. Many other young birds will look more like the female than the male but some
look completely different. It’s these birds, more than anything else, that create the most excitement amongst novice birdwatchers. Even experienced birders have to work harder to correctly identify some families of birds such as waders, gulls and birds of prey. So, today’s lesson is, when out birdwatching over the next few weeks, think about tatty adults and young fledglings. Remember that you’re more likely to see something common than something rare and make sure you read the text that accompanies each illustration in your fieldguide. I’ll happily recommend a fieldguide to you if you need any help in choosing one. Linda Jenkinson teaches people about birds in and around Leeds.

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing panes - not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Manager Joel Skinner feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any time of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have
struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Calverley, Rodley, Stanningley, Farsley, Pudsey, Bramley and New Farnley areas and Joel is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal

SPOTLIGHT: NEW FARNLEY Article written by Stewart and Alison Craven of New Farnley
Prior to 1850 the area we know as New Farnley comprised of a small settlement at Upper Moor Side and a hamlet at Low Moor Side. It was not until the early part of the 19th century when Edward Armitage started the Farnley Iron Works and the Farnley Fireclay that he needed to bring in workers and embarked on a programme of building a range of houses and schools that the village of New Farnley became, separate from the area known as Farnley (often referred to locally as Old Farnley). It is not known exactly where or when the original fish and chip shop in New Farnley was built as this was a wooden construction which some say burnt down. However, we do know that in 1929 the Farnley Estate came up for auction and included several of the original buildings that made up the village including Lot 19
Inside Craven‘s of New Farnley - Fish & Chip shop
comprising of No. 4 & 5 Low Moor Side, the Old Post office and Fish and Chip Shop. This is recorded to have sold at the time for £550.00! The interesting fact is that at sometime prior to this date the fish and chip shop was rebuilt entirely from bricks from the local Farnley Fireclay. The shop has recently undergone a major refurbishment; the new owners having stripped away layer upon layer of paint on one feature wall to reveal the original glazed bricks
used in the construction of the shop. The shop also features a collection of old photographs of New Farnley village providing a visual record of the changes and developments through the last 60 to 100 years. So, the next time you’re in the area, call into CRAVEN’S of NEW FARNLEY, order your freshly cooked Fish and Chips and while you wait, take a look at what the new owners Stewart and Alison have done to the shop... you won’t be disappointed!

SUBURBAN GARDENS With Eric Wells of Horsforth Allotment and Garden Association
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, the garden is full of flowers and the fruit is ready for picking. Vegetables and salads are tasting delicious, tomatoes, cucumbers and melons are growing full of promise. So back to the more mundane tasks, deadheading your roses and flowering shrubs. Then cutting back large perennials which have finished flowering, and the happy exercise of weeding. This is a good time to spread a general fertiliser around the garden, to give all your plants a boost after the hard work of producing flowers. This is especially important for Camellias and Rhododendrons, as they will be making their buds for next spring – also keep them well watered in dry spells. Look out for autumn flowering bulbs, especially colchicum, which sends flowers up before the leaves. If you grow prepared hyacinths for Christmas, this is the month to start them off in the dark. At the end of this month trim all your hedges and topiary specimens, then do the same with your gooseberry and current bushes. Summer raspberries are pruned after the last fruit is gathered, cutting out only the stems which have fruited Strawberry runners should be cut from the parent plant, and planted separately to provide new plants for next year. Keep a sharp eye open for tomato and potato blight, pick off any damaged leaves, then spray the compete plant with an approved fungicide. This also applies to green, white and black fly, which may appear very quickly – using you finger and thumb for individual clusters, otherwise your organic or chemical spray to control them. If you wish to grow bi annual plants, such as wall flowers, start them off in a seed tray ready for planting out when they have grown
to a reasonable size. And finally, if you wish to improve your bare patches of soil where crops have already been harvested, consider a green manure. There are many to choose from, which grow over the winter and are dug in before they flower in the spring.
