Looking for a Writer's Retreat in Texas?

Need a relaxing break in the Davis Mountains near Alpine, Texas? If so, check out the information below. I'm a member of Texas Mountain Trail Writers and have attended three of their retreats over the years. They're a wonderful, friendly group and though I no longer live in West Texas, I attend every opportunity I get. Not only do I enjoy the people, I love the area. I'm pleased to have been asked to be a presenter this year.
