Simon Adepetun is visiting Northwich Library to talk about his book. The Manchester born has mostly lived in Warrington. He has a degree in English Studies and a Postgraduate certificate in Theatre Studies from the University of Manchester. Working as full time sales manager, Simon enjoys spending quality time with his family and writing. The children’s book is also a treat for the adults where eleven-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Chambers has parents Philip and Susan who love work and shopping and who just don't listen. Daniel is an only child ... no, he's lying ... he has a sister, Alice, who has a dolly fixation; Dan is sure she is an alien. So, Dan has a few problems, none insurmountable, until his friend, Benji, introduces him to the find of the century - a derelict bee hive which could become a den. Of course, such a simple thing is never so simple and when Dan finds a map well, all kinds of things just go horribly wrong. For example - Alice noses her nosey way in and two strange men suddenly turn up wanting what's theirs - and then there's the bank, too. The Beehive by Simon Adepetun is a tight little sharp-witted bumble through a short period in Dan's young life.

Listen to Mick Drewery as he talks about his historical book based on true events ‘Intimidation: The History, the Times and the People of the Sheffield Outrages.’ In the book he portrays the state of Sheffield in the 19th century and clearly points out towards the catastrophes caused by the trade union thugs and leader like William Broadhead. Mick in his book, beautifully pictures in what way the hard working skilled men suffered at the hands of exploitative masters. He also writes about how William Broadhead, the main character, was behind all the arson attacks, shootings, killings, bombings hamstrung horses and anonymous letters. The whole story of Sheffield outrages isn’t about defaming the union leader like William but it revolves around the transitional times of industrial relations and the development of trade unionism. The author graduated from Sheffield Hallam University and served the Barnsley Council as a Community Development Worker in 2002. This historical book is his third publication.
