Léonie Press has several new publications in the pipeline which will be published over the next few months. Where an approximate publication date is known it is given. As the production of the books progresses we will put in links to the pages which will become the entries in the publications list so you have access to as much information about them as is available. However, do remember that the fine detail may change as the book progresses through to publication.

If you would like to be notified when a particular book is available or attend a launch, please send us an e-mail by going to our e-mail information page.

Anne is giving herself a sabbatical year, as there are several projects which she wants to do for herself. The other books we have produced together since Jack's "retirement" in 1999 have occupied us from dawn to midnight every day, meaning that there hasn't been any time for her to work her own ideas, and she is getting increasingly frustrated! So, for the moment at least, we are not taking on any new manuscripts.

"Mid-Cheshire Memories" Project

"Mid-Cheshire Memories" Volume 1 was launched at a party held at the Salt Museum, Northwich on March 1, 2002 . The book was born as the result of an essay competition held as part of the Millennium celebrations in 2000 and contains four pieces. One is by Peter Buckley, who was an apprentice at Yarwoods the shipbuilders, the second is by Bruce Fisher, one of the last firemen to work steam engines in the Northwich area and the third is by Geoff Mellor who trained as a mechanic in a couple of Northwich garages and also worked on local farms in his spare time. Finally, there is a section by Elizabeth Ellen ("Nellie") Osborne, author of "Nellie's Story", on the working and family life of a horseman on various local farms in the 1920s and '30s based on her memories of her father.

If you live in Mid-Cheshire and have had a job that is no longer done locally and would like to contribute to future books in this series, please contact us to discuss your ideas. So far, we have one contribution to Volume 2.
