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. This project began in January 2019 and has taken 18 months to complete. The contributors have had the pleasure of seeing each other's stories develop and grow into the works contained in this book.Wade Beneath The Waves by Emily Charlotte Ould Drowning Horses by Philip S Rollason Barnacle Bill by Caroline Palmer Waiting by Anita D Hunt The Dance of the Stones by David Allkins Ms Fitt's Lament by Angela Fitt Flecks of Gold by Stephen Baird A Cornish Rant by Anita D Hunt The White Ermine by Froshie Evans There is Copper in Abundance by Ulrike Duran A Spell in Cornwall by Claudia Loveland Stargazy Pie in the Sky by Pen King Little Bear by T J Dockree After the Daccarien Accord by John Evident Nixie's Quest by Angela Evron Knights On A Train by T J Dockree By Any Other Name by Joshua Copus-Oxland The Teddy Bear's Emporium by Rachel Fitch"e;He turned back to the sunset as streaks of scarlet slashed gently under the vivid turquoise ...
