We had a visit from members of the Sisters in Crime to the lovely, friendly-haunted Wheeler Mansion in Orange, MA (we had far less snow...)
We came for a writer's retreat to learn, write, and share conversation and business tips. Quite a lovely time.
Kat Fast led a workshop on craft, and we discussed various topics of writing, and how to improve issues that might hold us up.
Diane Kane led a workshop on marketing. Note the excellent book in the lower leftish middle, with pro tips from an expert!
And later in the day was Author Idol, with Scott reading a selection of first page submissions for group critique.
Judith MacIntosh, who helped arrange this day, and Karen Traub of the Quabbin and Quills writer organization.
Kat and Christine having a chat...
After lunch was a tour of the well-done restoration of the place (with B&B rooms available).
Below is Cindy, our hostess and proprietor.
Eager tourists

And the third floor
Great time in a lovely old place. If you're out that way, make sure to drop in and check it out. You can even stay there!
