Show Notes

In this episode, Holden Sheppard speaks to crime writer Dave Warner about his new book River of Salt and Dave spills the beans on his fool-proof method of how to know ‘whodunnit’.

Dave’s superpower is his ability to juggle many projects at once. Dave first came to prominence with his band Dave Warner from the Suburbs and his song writing is just one part of his creative practice. He is an award-winning multi-skilled writer who writes for television, the cinema and the stage, as well as crafting works of poetry, crime fiction, kids fiction and non fiction. This podcast delves into what Dave sees as the differences and similarities between each format and how to balance them all.

So what’s Dave’s advice to aspiring writers? Don’t lose the plot.
