It’s an exciting time for members of the Waveney Author Group. We have some aspiring authors and some already published authors who are busy putting the final touches to their books prior to publication. Ten authors will be reading and talking about their work at this fabulous event.
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.
