It was at this hotel last March that over twenty brand new writers finished the writing of their books in just the first two days of the retreat. The rest finished their works long before the conclusion of the third and final day. Just a few miles from the ocean, this venue is inspiring and also convenient in many ways. However, more importantly, it represents a seasoned birthing place for authors just like yourself, who will feel the power, inspiration and heart of the authors who preceded you. All this and so much more will offer you exactly what you need to write that long awaited book.
All of this and the Florida sun, surf and beach – how can you beat that?

The location of this retreat is situated on sacred, blessed, Native American land. No wonder it was so inspiring for the last group of our authors who came together here. The inspiring essence of the Native American way is everywhere from the high, majestic, hand painted ceilings of our meeting room to the wild stallions that are known to roam through the grounds. Not only is the hotel a mere twenty-five minute scenic drive from the Phoenix Airport, but it is also the home of where you will complete your book before the end of the all-important year of 2012.
