Tide is high

Have you checked out the Neaptide website yet? They’ve got their fingers in all sortsa pies, including publishing pies, script pies, screenplay pies and management pies. And what they’re cooking looks pretty tasty (that’s quite enough of that – Metaphor Ed).

The Neaptide johnnies are based in Salcombe and seem plenty ambitious, flagging up stories about assassinations, the [...]
