Joanne Clague secures three-book deal
The debut novel of a local writer has been picked up and published as part of a three-book deal.
With 30 years of local journalism under her belt Joanne Clague is now the author of 'The Ragged Valley'.
It's a historical fiction based on real events in her hometown of Sheffield in 19th century.
Joanne says it highlights a moment in history she only discovered because of her grandparents:
