MW Craven on Washington Poe actor, one-star reviews, and battling writerâs block (opens the original)
Read excerpt
M W Craven has made a living out of shocking people. So, it was about time the tables were turned. On September 7, the lauded Carlisle author was summoned up on stage at the Cumbria Life Awards after being named âCumbrian of the Yearâ â an honour that left him looking as dumbstruck as a reader turning the pages of a Washington Poe book.

But as global competition i
