Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.

Oh well, such is life

Don't know where they get these times from on here, it's now actually 10.45 a.m. over here. The review looks good on your blog, thanks again.
I' now going on a 20 mile round trip for dog food. We get a special food that they all love from a local kennels, but as you can guess it's ten miles from home so I get two 15kg bags at a time.
Catch you soon.
Brian
Thanks a million for the vote, much appreciated. Yes, Graeme is indeed quite a genius with those cover designs. I shan't mention the other one you liked. Might be bad luck! hehe
Anyway, here's hoping, and thanks again my friend.
Brian
