AN entrepreneur has published a book series inspired by his family home.

Heath Groves has launched The Series of Silence which is an ambitious psychological thriller saga ten years in the making.

It features Moorside House in Altham which is owned by Heath and Kelly-Ann Groves.

The Grade II listed period home has more than 200 years of history and it was once the childhood home of pioneering suffragist Lydia Becker.

"Writing has always been part of my world," Heath explains. "This book represents a decade of work, research and storytelling with a team of collaborators that just happen to be my own family.
