Crawford Ivin

Originally a jeweller by trade, Crawford has always enjoyed storytelling. Inspired by his home, the Isle of Wight, he wrote his debut novel - The Story of Four Islands, a lively tale of intrigue, murder and the heartache of unfulfilled love, featuring the ‘PLUTO’ petrol pipeline and D-Day preparations on the Isle of Wight. Rumours of film interest are not unfounded and talks are still ongoing.

​

With a debut novel being so well received, a second novel soon followed - The Art of Deception, featuring some of the expert gemstone knowledge that Crawford had garnered throughout his early career at a Court jewellers in London. 

​

Crawford has also lived and worked in Bermuda, another island which features in his novels, as does some of the rich history the area has experienced.

​

Crawford's story telling then delved in to Royal history with The Princess Who Came To Tea and culminated in the exciting story of the slave trade in The Millstone. Crawford's fifth novel promises to be the best of the bunch while maintaining it's nod to the Island...
