Belonging to a group of authors not only means you enjoy the company of colleagues, but it improves your writing. I belong to several groups and associations – you’ll see some of the logos below – but one I treasure is the community of SilverWood Books authors.
The genius of Helen Hart and her team at SilverWood Books of fostering the community is remarkable, especially in a commercial business in the independent publishing sector. And now in support of their authors, they’ve brought out the first of their selection boxes – a real ‘try before you buy’.
Of course, it showcases SilverWood Books, but for authors, it highlights their work in a compact, easily accessible way – ‘A blend of fiction and non-fiction to introduce the reader to new “good reads”.’
The extract from INCEPTIO is when Karen realises something very powerful is ranged against her:
I stared at the screen. I felt like I’d been struck in the face. This couldn’t be happening. I wasn’t a terrorist or criminal. Sure, my mother had been born abroad, but she’d been dead for twenty-one years. My father was born in England but had been a naturalised American for nearly two-thirds of his life. He’d even been decorated for war service in North Africa. That kid being pissed at me couldn’t have gone this far, could it?
I started shaking.
God. What else could these people do to me?
I’m proud to share this new ebook of delicious tasters with fellow authors including:
Anna Belfrage, Helen Hollick, David Ebsworth, Lucienne Boyce, Edward Hancox, Adrian Churchward, Sandy Osborne, Michael Brown and Harvey Black.

Love the extract, Alison – and love “Inceptio” too, of course! Anyway, just thought I’d hop along and say hello, on my way around the SilverWood family!
Thank you, Dave. Am now reading your Last Campaign of Marianne Tambour – equally as gripping as the Assassin’s Mark!
Thank you for the post, Alison. Love the focus on the community aspect of writing – and absolutely agree that it helps to improve writing – and also, I would add, open up new ideas and ways of doing things!
I’ve discovered new writing just by dipping into the selection box! 😉
Phew been a busy day… enjoying reading the posts while sipping a cup of tea and nibbling a hot cross bun! I’m also busy with my A-Z April Blog Challenge… while puppy-sitting the new family member…. it’s all go! 🙂 http://leaningonthegate.blogspot.co.uk/
You.re not kidding, Helen, but the response has been very good. Good luck with the A-Z challenge!
