Kansas Authors

We had such a marvel0us time at the annual Kansas Authors Dinner last Thursday evening.  It is always a lovely time listening to their journeys and how they came to be authors.  Such an honor to get to visit with Beverley Olson Buller.  She was a featured author together with Jim Hoy a few years back and we have their books at the Spring Street library.  This time I added the story of Mary White daughter of William Allen White.  And these other stories by Tim and Cathleen Bascom, Kris Clink,and Justina Neufeld.  
 
Spring Street Retreat is a great place for writers.  Our retreat season is perfect for this.  A lot could be accomplished in this wonderful and interesting home and charming town.  I picture a retreat beginning Sunday evening and a good nights rest, hot breakfast and conversation, cozy rooms and desk for much writing, soup of the week and fresh made salads for lunch, a hike at the Tallgrass Preserve and dinner at one of the local restaurants.  Check out Friday morning after a great week of writing and camaraderie.  We have a special winter rate when the 5 guest rooms are booked.  Gather your writing friends together and make plans for a writing retreat.  

Spring Street is also a great place for a Book Club getaway.  These retreats begin Friday evening with sunset at the overlook, hot breakfast, book discussion, meet the merchants and lunch on main street, a hike at the Tallgrass Preserve and dinner at another local restaurant.  We have many cozy places for reading and relaxing.
