The Craft Room by Dave Holwill - Book Tour
The
Craft Room
Sylvia
Blackwell is tired. Her grandchildren are being kept away from her, and the
expected inheritance that might finally get her middle-aged son to move out has
failed to materialise – thanks to her mother's cat. It is becoming increasingly
difficult to remain composed. On a romantic clifftop walk for her 47th Wedding
Anniversary, an unexpected opportunity leads to a momentous decision that will
irretrievably change the course of her life. The Craft Room is a darkly comic
tale of sex, crepe paper, murder and knitting in a sleepy Devon town, with a
'truly original' premise and genuinely jaw-dropping moments. What would you do
if unexpectedly freed from bondage you never knew you were in? How would your
children cope? How far would you go to protect them from an uncomfortable
truth? You can only push a grandmother so far...

Bio
Dave Holwill was born
in Guildford in 1977 and quickly decided that he preferred the Westcountry –
moving to Devon in 1983 (with some input from his parents).
After an expensive (and possibly wasted) education there, he has worked variously as a postman, a framer, and a print department manager (though if you are the only person in the department then can you really be called a manager?) all whilst continuing to play in every kind of band imaginable on most instruments you can think of.

His debut novel, Weekend Rockstars, was published in August 2016 to favourable reviews and his second The Craft Room (a very dark comedy concerning death through misadventure) came out in August 2017. He is currently in editing hell with the third.
