Ken Ross was born in 1953 at Westow in the East Riding of Yorkshire. As a child, he lived at Barmby Moor, Pocklington, and York, before his parents moved to Leeds in 1964. He attended Harehills County Secondary School until leaving in 1969. Married in 1971 he had an assortment of jobs while honing his writing skills. After his divorce in 1986, he brought up his 8 children alone and eventually succeeded in getting published. At first, he wrote articles for magazines but has gone on to write over fifty books, the first twenty-odd being solely for children. He is proud of his novels, 'A Cross Of Crocuses' and 'Ann - irresistible spirit'. He currently lives in Osmondthorpe, Leeds.

Ken's 2019 works include the romantic/erotic series of novels WASTED PAIN, PROTECTION: sex, revenge & romance, BODIES, MAMA, BROKEN SISTERS, and GOODBYE VIOLET. These six novels are interlinked with the characters all living in the same house that is first occupied by Jerry's Pa and Ginger in WASTED PAIN, then by Jerry and his gals in subsequent stories. The central characters are Jerry, Patsy, and Erica and their adventures often occur close to the grim town of Crickenville, Ohio.

In June, 2019 came 'AN OLD AFFAIR'; a novel about a middle-aged couple. And finally, his last work of 2019 is ROSALEE'S PUNISHMENT, an erotic suspense novel about a guy whose partner has recently died in an automobile crash.

2020 novels include the sizzling LOUANN'S HOME MOVIE, a young adult novel THE LAST DAYS OF CHILDHOOD, and the literary fiction novel WRAPPED IN GREEN COMFORT. He has recently published another erotic suspense series, Rosa's Confessions, that includes SUPERFLUOUS, PARTIAL ABSOLUTION, HAPPINESS REGAINED & LIZZIE.

4.0 out of 5 stars Early life in the UK
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2020

Having grown up in the UK during the 60s and 70s, I did find this book very informative and interesting. There certainly have been many changes in all aspects of life such as work, cars, TV, Internet. Although we did have a TV in the 60s, it had a spotty picture that seemed to ever roll. We had a roof antennae, and only 3 channels. I got a car when I was 16, but there were hardly any traffic roundabouts, not many traffic lights and plenty of spaces to park. I worked in London, but used the train and underground tube stations. I think my first wage after leaving college was £2.10 an hour. Fascinating book that brought back a lot of memories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulously nostalgic read for over 40s
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 10, 2020

I expected this book to be a Social Science educational book but it was a list of the differences between 40/50 years ago and today, how we as a nation, have changed. It was fabulously nostalgic for anyone over 40, a total joy to read.
The author was a little politically correct, especially when it comes to "female emancipation" (did anyone ask women if they wanted that?) but apart from that annoyance, i enjoyed this so much

1.0 out of 5 stars A book with no point

Dreadful book, a complete waste of money. Just a random list of items, no analysis or themes. No academic interest. A travesty to call it social history

If you are looking for an insight of changes in social attitudes how technology may have driven these go look elsewhere.
