If you are not familiar with Regina Doman and her wonderful books (as well as Chesterton Press and all of the exciting projects that they have in the works), then by all means, get on the band wagon and find out what all the fuss is about!
Regina and her hubby as well as two of their children joined about 20 other teens and young adults at our house for four days of talks, prayers and lots of fun.
Thursday the group learned how to make marshmallows
as well as a bonfire...where those wonderful marshmallows were consumed.
On Friday there was a very good weapons demonstration by a "weapons expert" because every good writer should know how to accurately incorporate weaponry into their story!
an informative lecture about how to write fiction
and the highlight of the day was the live "Clue" game where there was a wild cast of characters and a murder to solve! That was a lot of fun and everyone really got into their characters!
The "murderer"
and
The "murdered"
Saturday was a fun day at a local beach and then a talent show and a dance! It sure felt good to cool off for awhile.
That looks like an incredible amount of fun. My daughter would have loved this, especially the anime.

Hey!
ReplyDeleteThis is shameless self promotion, BUT My name is Rebekah Roberts and I am an author and a graduated homeschooler. It looks like you had so much fun at your party...thought you guys might like to check out my new novel, Petals. It's a modern version of Beauty and the Beast, with a few twists!
“Beauty might just be the beast.”’
Calla Williams is not like other girls. Most girls spend their whole lives trying to be beautiful, Calla already is…and she hates it.
When she is shipped off one summer to live with family friends in their dilapidated Mississippi plantation, Calla is faced with the prospect of living with strangers and their teenage son. This is annoying because, like any other boy, he is sure to fall in love with her on sight. However, Griffin Davenport is not your typical teenage guy. With his hot temper and half of his face severely scarred, “hate at first sight” is closer to what she finds.
Though the two teens try to stay out of each other’s way, an odd attraction to each other makes staying away anything but easy.
Now, Calla must deal with growing feelings, her own prejudices, and finding the secret to Griffin’s past. As hate turns to friendship and friendship becomes something more, Calla learns a startling truth: God uses even how we look in His plan for our lives.
You can get it on Amazon and BN.com
