We are a consortium of published authors representing various genres, backgrounds and experiences. We first met in April 2007 to donate our books to U.S. troops in war zones. Since then, we have appeared together in various venues including libraries, bookstores, fairs and festivals. Because writing is the most enjoyable part of the process but promoting our books is the most difficult, we formed Authors Without Borders.

In the Fall of 2011, Authors Without Borders began hosting a monthly half-hour show on the New Bedford (MA) cable-access t.v. channel (NBTV-95), titled Authors Without Borders Presents. Each of us rotates as producer/host, selecting and interviewing our local and regional authors and artists. See our section on the t.v. show and catch some of our interviews.

| Featured Author of the Month- Brian R. Hill |
|
A Yorkshireman, Brian R Hill was born in 1951 and educated at Aireborough Grammar School in Yeadon near Leeds. He has a grown up family and three grandchildren. Brian lives close to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. A keen amateur photographer, musician - leader of a local orchestra - and composer, Brian derives much of his inspiration from the beautiful countryside of the region. After walking his dog through Spring Woods one sunny Saturday afternoon, many years ago, Brian returned home to discover a typewriter, temporarily abandoned, resting forlornly on a coffee table. A blank sheet of paper was already in place and, sitting down, Brian typed the immortal words ‘Chapter I’, and thus his first novel, The Shintae, was conceived.
Working with the old typewriter, now relegated to a desk inside a walk in cupboard over a staircase, the story began to take shape. Over a number of years with frequent and often lengthy interruptions due to family and work commitments, transferring the manuscript to word processing and much rewriting, The Shintae was finally finished.
Brian’s second novel, Shadows from a Time Long Past, was published in 2011 and he has started work on a third novel.
