Hi, I'm Liz Hurley, I started the press in 2016 to publish walking guides, bringing the beauty of Cornwall to visitors at the bookshop my husband, Stephen, and I run in Mevagissey. Our shop is called Hurley Books and is just a few yards from the sea. The name Mudlark’s is an old family nickname from when we used to play around as kids, finding stuff in the river. It felt like the perfect name for a small collection of various titles. Each a small treasure ready to be uncovered.

Since those walking guides, I’ve branched into fiction across various genres, each with its own unique world. To keep things simple for my readers, I’ve created different pen names for each series. I’m especially excited that the Hiverton Sisters series, first published by Hera Books, is now back under the Mudlarks Press imprint. 

Whether you're looking for a guide to Cornwall’s paths or a story to get lost in, I hope you find something here that brings you joy!
