British writer Tom Vowler's story collection, THE METHOD, won the ​Scott Prize and the Edge Hill Readers' Prize, and his novels include WHAT LIES WITHIN and THAT DARK REMEMBERED DAY. He's an Arvon tutor and has a PhD in creative writing. Represented by Brotherstone Creative Management, Tom is the short fiction editor with Unthank Books. His new novel, EVERY SEVENTH WAVE, is out now.
​

                   Vowler's writing overflows with empathy, sensuality and arresting imagery.                                                                                                                                               Banshee

​EVERY SEVENTH WAVE is a tale of the fates we tether ourselves to, how seemingly benign encounters can provoke both hope and devastation.
