This bold and striking new anthology showcases Cornwall's finest contemporary writers, combining established and new voices.
Ghosts walk in the open and infidelities are conducted in plain sight. Two teenagers walk along a perfect beach in the anticipation of a first kiss. Time stops for nothing - not even for death. Sometimes time cracks, disrupting a fragile equilibrium. The stories are peopled with locals and incomers, sailors and land dwellers; a diver searches the deep for what she has lost, and forbidden lovers meet in secret places. Throughout, the writers' words reveal a love of the incomparable Cornish landscape.

Editors EMMA TIMPANY and FELICITY NOTLEY are the organisers of the Falmouth-based writing group Telltales which showcases and inspires new writers. Both accomplished writers in their own right, they have a long list publications to their name. Heavily immersed in the writing and arts community, they organise and attend numerous events throughout the year. The Authors are a mixture of well-known names and new authors. Their stories have been carefully selected to illustrate the diverse range of writing in Cornwall today.
