The Legend of St Mawes

The Legend of St Mawes is an atmospheric Cornish adventure spanning 1936 and the present day.

Inspired by the history, character and landscape of St Mawes, the book has attracted support within the village and is available through local stockists.

William’s Wild World: Secrets of the Seashore

William’s Wild World: Secrets of the Seashore is a child-led nature and coastal-discovery book inspired by William’s real adventures.

Featuring the wildlife, beaches and rockpools of Lyme Regis, Beer, Seaton and Spain, it offers strong angles for schools, libraries, family publications, wildlife organisations, tourism partners and regional media.

Broadcasting and Audio

Brett’s broadcasting work continues through Brett’s Old Time Radio Show, which celebrates classic radio drama, mystery, comedy and spoken-word entertainment.
