Tides & Tales: Where Imagination Meets Compassion
What do a wartime mystery, a thrilling espionage adventure, a touching romance, and a journey through time have in common?
You'll find them all in Tides & Tales.
Created by members of the Bridlington Veterans Coffee Morning Group, Tides & Tales is a unique collection of 11 original fictional short stories. Each author brings their own style, imagination, and life experience to the page, creating a book that is as varied as it is entertaining.
From suspense and intrigue to humour, adventure, and heartwarming moments, every story offers something different. Some may make you smile, some may keep you guessing, and others may leave you reflecting long after you've turned the final page.
But this book is about more than great storytelling.
Every copy sold helps support the incredible work of St Catherine's Hospice, Scarborough. All profits from Tides & Tales will be donated to the hospice, helping them continue to provide care, comfort, and support to local families when they need it most.
