You’re Invited
I’ve participated in several large-scale reader retreats over the last few years, but I’ve been cultivating the idea of putting together something more intimate. A relaxing weekend with just me and up to 30 of my readers. In an effort to plan ahead, I’m making reservations now for a spring retreat in April 2027. I know that’s quite a ways into the future, but the retreat center I found is already booked for most of that spring.
I’m currently writing my second spinster book, and the hero just happens to work in a grist mill, so when I found Summer’s Mill Retreat Center, I knew it was the perfect place to gather. It is located in the Texas Hill Country, which brings the added bonus of likely bluebonnet sightings.
My inspiration behind the retreat is to have a relaxed atmosphere with friends. There will be scheduled activities, but there will also be unscheduled time to read or chat, play games or piece a puzzle, hike a walking trail or hide and recharge.
We will play group parlor games, explore historic sites on the property, and enjoy an old-fashioned hymn sing on Sunday morning to close our time together. You are welcome to bring books from home to have me sign. All meals are included.
Date: April 2-4, 2027
(Friday – Sunday)
Cost: $240 – $325 per person
(final amount will be determined by how many attend)
Deposit: $75 – $90 per person

In order for me to make the reservation, I have to pay a significant retainer, so I am needing to collect a deposit, even though we are a year and a half away. The deposit you pay up front will be subtracted from the full retreat cost, and should you need to cancel for any reason, the full amount will be refunded.
