Crime thriller writer and Dartmoor resident Holly Watt joins us in Moretonhampstead to talk about her life as a writer.
Starting with her CWA Ian Fleming Dagger award-winning Casey Benedict series, Holly is known for creating page-turning stories of corruption & betrayal on an international scale. Her newest book, The Last Truths We Told, sticks closer to home but doesn’t lose its suspenseful edge.
We will kick off the evening with a moderated conversation with Holly & Leslie at First Draft Books before we open it up to your questions. She will then stick around to chat further & sign copies of her books, which will be available to purchase on the night.
The fine folks at The White Hart will be putting on canapes and offering 20% off glasses of wine on the night so bring your whole gang. It’ll be a lovely evening.
This is a free but ticketed event. Please save your seat early to avoid disappointment. We will activate a waitlist once we hit capacity.
