About the Author: Alissa Wood is the author of the
new detective series, Vicki Silver Mysteries. She began
writing the series at the age of 14 while she was
attending Wayside Middle School in Saginaw, Texas.
By the time she graduated from Boswell High School,
she had completed a total of seven books in the
series.
“The Stolen Gem” was the first book she wrote. Alissa
has prepared each book for publication, but they
remain true to their original characters and story line.
Alissa is currently an English major in college and
enjoys participating in theater.
Some of the characters that are part of the Vicki Silver
Mystery Series were inspired by Alissa’s friends and
family, but all characters and events are works of
fiction.
Travels: Here is a photo
of Alissa at 221b Baker
St., in London, England.
Obviously, from the look
on her face, she must
be concentrating on a
new case. Where's
Watson when you need
him.
Book Signing: Alissa conducted a
book signing at the Hastings Book
Store in Waxahachie on December 7,
2007. Alissa is seen in this photo with
her friend Vanessa from College.
The book signing was a great event,
and a tremendous success. The
people of Waxahachie and S.A.G.U.
were very kind to come by and talk to
Alissa, and try out her new book.
The local newspaper, The Waxahachie
Daily Light, did an interview and
spread the word about this exciting
event.
"A safe place to read
where new adventures begin"
