The eBook version of The Writing Retreat can be accessed through the Nassau Digital Doorway.
Alex is a young author who is invited to an exclusive writer’s retreat at the estate of feminist horror writer Roza Vallo. But when the attendees arrive, Roza drops a bombshell–they must all complete an entire novel from scratch during the next month, and the author of the best one will receive a life-changing seven-figure publishing deal. Determined to win this seemingly impossible contest, Alex buckles down and tries to ignore the strange happenings at the estate. But when one of the writers vanishes, Alex realizes that something very sinister is afoot. With the clock running out, she must discover the truth–or suffer the same fate.
