Description

A series of five fun feel-good reads set against the delightful backdrop of Corny Cove.

When redundancy forces Henry and Margaret to reassess their lives, they decide to 'live the dream' and move from their home in central England, down south to Cornwall.

Discovering the golden sands and rugged cliffs of Corny Cove, it's love at first sight, and they take on the running of a campsite.

They soon realise, however, that it isn't all plain sailing, and Henry regularly ends up getting into scrapes with a host of bothersome campers such as the brutish Mr Botherham and unruly Mrs Gladstone as well as 'Rusty' Gates, the obnoxious red-bearded farmer next door… And, of course, he does so all under the watchful eye of Margaret.

All in all, life at Corny Cove is both a blessing AND a curse!

Set over the course of a typical British holiday season, Tales from Corny Cove is a series of 5 fun feel-good reads (also available as standalone novelettes).

SUMMARY of TALES

TALE #1 – BEASTLY ENCOUNTERS
After a busy Easter start to the season on the campsite, Henry relaxes with his newspaper only to discover that the murderous Beast of Bodmin Jail is on the loose. But with a brutish, jealous camper running around on site, Henry isn't sure who his biggest threat is. But what does his wife, Margaret, think?

TALE #2 – FLY IN THE OINTMENT
When a top-notch customer like the retired air marshal turns up on site, it seems that things are looking up. Sadly, the dishevelled Mr Chigwell lets the side down by tramping around each morning looking like he's drunk. However, as events unravel, Henry and Margaret discover that appearances aren't quite what they seem.

TALE #3 – CORNISH HOSPITALITY
Captivated by medical romance books set in Cornwall, Margaret can only dream of how wonderful it would be to be swept off her feet by a handsome young doctor. But when she finally meets one, she begins to wonder whether a life of passion is all it's cracked up to be.

TALE #4 – NO BED OF ROSES
With the imminent arrival of the judges for a campsite flower competition, Henry and Margaret are hotter than ever on cleaning up the degenerating doggy-doo situation. But do they stand any chance of success with the unruly Mrs Gladstone roaming around on site?

TALE #5 – HARVEST THE SUN
Henry and Margaret fear their place in paradise is in jeopardy when they receive the news that a huge solar farm may be built on their doorstep. But will their voice be heard, when the obnoxious red-bearded farmer next door is set on making it all come to pass?
