Charles Baring is a marketing manager from West London who dreams of owning a cottage in the west country. A cottage on Dartmoor seems to fit all his needs, but when he tries to befriend his neighbour he learns of a difficult past event in the family. His aspirations to help are seen as self serving and he must overcome and realise his own problems before he can help the situation.

Living by the coast in North Cornwall, Lee Robertson has worked as a chef, hotelier, and pub owner. More recently he works as a photographer, short film maker and location manager. He has been a lifelong surfer and currently enjoys teaching young people to be lifeguards.
When he isn't by the coast he enjoys wandering the moors and lanes. The idea for Talan came from searching for the old Holy Wells and Celtic Crosses that crop up in obscure places over the Cornish landscape.
