I'm pleased to report that in late November, 2008, we held our first Falling Leaves Novel-Writing Master Class in Silver Bay, Lake George. Click here for pictures from the event.

We had a wonderful group of authors and editors attend and a truly inspirational setting. We look forward to returning next year for another successful retreat, so keep watching for more details!
