July is nearly full. Our only weekend Retreat is already booking up in August. Plus standby for our first cosy crime retreat in September! And more…
I just came back from a smashing week away on my own writing retreat! My 8th visit I think, to Chez Castillon, what I call our ‘sister retreat’ near Bordeaux! A bit too hot but how amazing to just have all food provided, great company, like-minded people, beautiful surroundings, and time to lock myself away and get on with my writing. Tables reversed! Loved it. I got lots done including finally plotting to ‘the end,’ of French Or Dutch book one. (Regulars will know how many years I’ve been working on this!)
So as I sit in the airport, replete with French stick(!), here is a reminder of what’s in store this coming season, including some firsts!
