“The mines are silent. The land is not.”

Dydh Da / Welcome

Here you’ll find the latest news from my writing desk. Stories, poems, and other notes from the margins.

 

Inspired by the honesty of the Cornish landscape, the force of the Atlantic, and the lingering echoes of old industries, this space charts an ongoing creative journey.

 

You’re warmly invited to explore the work, the places that shape it, and the quiet beauty that continues to inspire my journey.

Born of wild moors, desolate beaches and quiet coves, my first publication is a labour of love and a homage to the Cornish landscape that taught me one simple truth: the land remembers. 

THE LISTENER
The Authorised Casebook of Dr. Elowen Carne

A curated archive of Dr. Elowen Carne's most revealing investigations, the Casebook gathers short stories, fragments and field notes that illuminate the quieter edges of her work.

 

These are moments where landscape, memory shifts, and meaning surfaces unexpectedly - glimpses of a world where every place carries a story beneath

its silence.

​

Available now from Amazon and Apple Books in hardback, paperback and ebook formats.
