Cozy fans will be charmed. —Publishers WeeklyRoxy Gleason, an innkeeper by trade and a bibliomancer by birth, has lived in the same small town on the Susquehanna River in Central Pennsylvania for her entire life. Tradition is strong here. Roxy understands the rules and is willing to play by them most of the time. She runs the Charmed Inn, which has been in her family for decades.The inn is all set to host a writers' professional business weekend that's been planned down to the very last hand-folded napkin, and Roxy is ready for the influx of creatives.

Miller, Dianne Harman, Lynn Cahoon, Deany Ray, Kathi Daley, and Merryn Allingham will enjoy Misty Simon.
