October Newsletter from Denise's Diary
Hello there and Happy Halloween!
I have so much news to share with you this month I can't wait to get started!
This year for Halloween I'm once again putting up my candy chute extending from the bathroom window. Kids love to see their candy come down the chute and into a big bowl on a small table, only this year I'm giving away individually wrapped rice Krispie bars (from Sam's Club). I'm also giving away free kids' books to clean out my little library, so every kid gets a piece of candy and a free book.
Also, I want to tell you about my yearly writer's retreat at Breezy Point, Minnesota. A couple of weeks ago, I spent six glorious days at Breezy Point with two of my best writing buddies. We had such a blast writing, eating at great restaurants, and just hanging out in a beautiful timeshare unit nestled among the fall colors right on the edge of a golf course. I spent the time updating the first two books of the West Loon Bay series. (Book two is getting an epilogue added to the story and that should be finished shortly.)
This is a picture of Rose Meuwissen, me and Ann Nardone during our retreat sitting on a huge rock at a Norwegian restaurant in Nisswa, Minnesota.
