Billy Morris was born in Leeds, Yorkshire in 1966. He left Leeds in the late 1990's and has lived and worked in Europe and USA. He now lives mainly in South East Asia with occasional visits back to Yorkshire. He wrote his first book 'Bournemouth 90' in 2021 and published the sequel, LS92, in 2022. The books form the 'Eighties Leeds' series - Dark, crime fiction set against the backdrop of a northern English city trying to reinvent itself, as its once famous football team emerges from a period in the doldrums to reclaim its position at the forefront of European football."If you like crime thrillers with a touch of terrace culture you will enjoy the journey these books take you on."Morris's third book 'Birdsong on Holbeck Moor' is set during the tumultuous period at the end of World War 1. The Leeds Pals have been decimated at the Somme and the soldiers who survived return to find a city on the grip of a global pandemic, with food rationing, unemployment and a football team facing expulsion from the league due to financial irregularities during the war years. Throw in some corruption, inter-city gang wars and witchcraft and you have the makings of a gritty, Edwardian thriller.'It's no surprise that there'll be no peace for Leeds in the year the City became United."Morris published his 4th book, LS65, in September 2023. Forming a trilogy in the 'Eighties Leeds' series, the latest book is a prequel, with events taking place in 1965 and finding one of the key characters from Bournemouth90 arriving in Leeds as a teenager at the height of the swinging 60's. Mods and Rockers, scooters, dance halls and pills form the backdrop to the tale as Alan Connolly tries to establish himself in the criminal underworld while battling his own demons.Follow the author on Twitter @Yorkshire_Tales and Facebook BillyMorrisAuthor .Read more about this authorRead less about this author
