Share your accomplishments with colleagues in late afternoon critique circles to receive further direction and feedback. Mingle with writers in the evening over a bottle of fine wine and talk industry, or complete the experience by booking one of the fine rooms on the premises and stay the night.Hosts, Lorin Oberweger of Free Expressions (Editor) and Jackie Garlick-Pynaert, are also available for paid one-on-one critique consultations throughout the weekend. All in an a wonderfully informative, and luxurious writerly weekend package. But don't wait too long to reserve your spot, only twenty lucky participants can attend.

A writer of Young Adult Novels, I am a graduate of the famed Nevada Mentoring Program, run by Ellen Hopkins (Crank, Impulse, Identical, Tricks and more) and Suzy Morgan Williams (Bull Rider), where Lynda Sandoval (Who's Your Daddy) was my mentor. In the program I completed my debut novel, Raging Bitch Queen. WRAITH is the working title of my second novel, now complete, and THE ILLUMINATION PARADOX is the working title of my third, a 'Fantastical, Steampunkish, Burtonist Adventure/Romance,' currently undergoing the process of polishing, and soon to be subbed by my fabulous agent Josh Adams of Adams Literary Agency. Not wanting to let any grass grow under my feet, I've already begun work on a fourth, with a contemporary, coming-of-age feel. Smiling.
