    Terri & Dom stayed there in a lovely room overlooking the garden. We feasted on fine dining and sipped wine in the lounge. Elegant.

"I cannot express it enough: the writing opportunities that you provide are a GODSEND. We are all so busy in our daily lives–working, caregiving for young and old, surviving our daily challenges–that to have an uninterrupted respite to write and speak only of the craft of writing for a whole weekend is bliss.
