Dear reader,
Back in 2017, we here in the Treasure Valley were hit by a ferocious series of winter storms which we all lovingly dubbed "Snowmageddon" (or the "Snowpocalypse" if you were in Canyon County).

In other exciting news, I'm fairly certain I have an official date for my next series of writing workshops at The Cabin!
Starting on March 27th, I'll be doing a six-week course on plotting, outlining, and crafting your first novel. We'll cover story structure, characterization, dialogue, world-building: all the good stuff.
The last course sold out fairly quickly, so if you're interested, keep an eye out for the upcoming posting on The Cabin's website.
