After more than two centuries, Lady Melissa Dewer’s current body is wearing out. Luring Patrick, the last of the Dewer bloodline, and his long-term girlfriend Polly to her remote Dartmoor town proves easy. Tricking them out of a child neither of them want to have will not. On moving to their new home, Patrick finds a dismembered foot in a stone circle and soon discovers that, in Dourstone Nymet, there is always a mysterious disappearance during their ancient Winter festival. Once Polly falls unexpectedly pregnant, Lady Melissa takes her under her wing and, amid rumours of Patrick’s infidelity, persuades her not to get rid of the baby.

Sylvia doesn’t want to kill anyone. She just wants a little space, a room of her own. A room where she could make things with her grandchildren, if her ex-daughter-in-law ever lets her see them again. A room that feels more and more like a pipe dream since her husband retired. Her mother’s recent fall down the stairs could have provided enough money to help her middle-aged son move out, move on with his life and free up her spare room. But Mum is just one more name on a very long list of people getting in the way. If only she’d fallen a little further, faster, harder. But Sylvia doesn’t want to kill anyone. The Craft Room is a darkly comic tale of sex, crepe paper, murder and knitting in a sleepy Devon town. 'Dave Holwill has put together a fabulous cast of characters, an increasingly wild plot and...

George didn’t join a covers band to meet girls. He’s 42 years old, can barely play the bass guitar that has languished in his spare room these last three years and got put off women by his second divorce. But when the beautiful Verity turns up at rehearsals all that changes. Weekend Rockstars is a coming-of-middle-age romantic comedy following George's quest for happiness against musicians with delusions of grandeur, obsessive groupies, abysmally organised events, living up to his fatherly responsibilities, and the well-intended interventions of his borderline alcoholic friends. “Very accurately captures the euphoria/self loathing of playing "Sex on fire" to a room full of drunken divorcees.” “A classic British romantic comedy in fact, that I genuinely think stands up against the best out there - if Nick Hornby had written this, it would already have been optioned for a film, hit the Bestsellers list and wouldn’t be half as...
