E.V Thompson's first book 'Chase the Wind' won an award that helped him towards a writing career and the publication of future novels, including the hugely popular series 'The Retallick Saga'. E.V Thompson aka James Munro has become well known for historical novels set in the rugged terrain of Bodmin Moor and his portrayal of Cornish life. 

Marcia Willett described herself as a 'reader' not a 'writer' and did not write her first book until she was in her fifties. Marcia is now published in over 16 countries and one of her novels is set to become a movie in France. Marcia, who replies to all her fan mail said: "Being a writer you always have surprises in life that you never quite get used to and is always a wonderful experience"
