Bøger i Cornwall Writers Short Stories serien

Cornwall: Misfits, Curiosities and Legends sparkles with surprises and entertainment. Action shifts between land and sea; locals and newcomers; from times past to times beyond time.This anthology has a rich variety of stories - of different genres, time periods and moods. No single story gives any clue to the next. The stories weave together as contrasts: each enhances and is enhanced by those around it. Beginning with an engaging holiday read set in Cornwall, the collection ends with a place in Cornwall waiting for someone to visit and love it. There are ebbs and flows, surprises and entertainment throughout. The ideas and words for our theme have many meanings and creative angles. Our aim is to provoke curiosity in whoever picks up the book. Words can suggest particular genres, so we voted on three favourites that combine into a theme open to a wide interpretation. The theme became the title - Cornwall: Misfits, Curiosities and Legends.The Cornwall Writers Short Story Project is a community of writerly friends committed to honing their writing and editing skills and learning how to publish, market and sell books.
