The Waveney Author Group had a lovely meeting at the Southwold Boating Lake & Tea Room and the food was delicious.
Writers: Franky Sayer, Anne Griffiths, Helen Thwaites, Rosie Owen, Julie Bernandas, Shirley Newstead, Suzan Collins, Sandra Delf, Gwenyth Clare Lyons, Jacqui Kefford, Stephanie Carr, Pat Casselden, Aisha Khalaf and Enid Thwaites.
Thank you for hosting us.
In between thinking about writing a book, writing a book, reading through what they’ve written and writing more members also take time out of their busy schedules to raise money for charity. I was fortunate to join fellow authors Elizabeth Manning Ives, Sandra Joanne Forder, Enid Thwaites and Sandra Delf at the East Coast Authors event at The Swan Hotel in Loddon recently to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

***************
On the Thursday authors Elizabeth Manning-Ives, Enid Thwaites, Tricia Cass, Sandra Delf and Suzan Collins were delighted to be back at the fabulous Saxmundham Library. A fantastic group and one that is genuinely interested in the authors and their progress.
The authors look forward to going back next year with more new releases and it’s the authors turn to buy the cakes next time!
The authors had an enjoyable time talking about their books and getting published.
Here is Suzan trying to tell everyone about the Waveney Author Group but is slightly distracted after smelling the gorgeous chocolate cake that is on the shelf behind her.
