Strange Waters

Jackie Taylor is originally from London but has lived and worked in rural Cornwall for the past 20 years. She has several jobs and writes when she can, mainly short stories and poetry. Her short stories have appeared in Arachne Press anthologies 'Dusk', and 'Tymes Goe By Turnes', as well as various other publications, including Mslexia and the Stories For Homes 2 anthology.

I thoroughly enjoyed dipping my toes into this delightful book. Despite the themes of grief and tragedy it explores these are also magical, powerful, thought-provoking tales that also touch upon important modern concerns such as climate change. And there is just a touch of whimsy that I recognise from the ‘tall tales’ that have always permeated the Cornish coast. Elizabeth Dale, cornishbirdblog.com
