AN author's latest novel – which is set around Haworth – is amongst the contenders in this year's Best Indie Book Awards.
Paul Rushworth-Brown's Red Winter Journey is based against the backdrop of the English Civil War in 1642.
It follows the fortunes of 16-year-old Tommy Rushworth and his battle for survival after being kidnapped into the Parliamentary Army to fight.
Paul's other work includes the widely acclaimed Skulduggery, which was also set locally.
He turned his hand to writing in 2015, after embarking on a six-month project to produce a family history for his children.
The resultant 400-page book traced his family back to Haworth.
"I believe it is easy for readers to empathise with my characters in Red Winter Journey," says Paul.
"Some people have said they couldn’t wait to find out if Tommy makes it home."
