Next Boot Camp: September 18th - 20th

The next Mystery Writing Boot Camp will welcome budding mystery writers from across the nation to the hills and lakes of southeastern Wisconsin.

The Mystery Writing Boot Camp will hone the skills of a select group of wordsmiths in the comfort and ambiance of an unforgettable turn-of-the-century inn. Take a look at our recent group of mystery writers and hear what they had to say about this whodunit extravaganza.


The recent Mystery Writing Boot Camp was a whirlwind of creative plots, twists and turns with Wayne Munn of Waukegan, IL, Chief Inspector Jack Pachuta (in disguise sans beard), Mary Jo Woods of Escondido, CA and mother/daughter mystery writing team Laurel and Elizabeth Kashinn.

Here's what they said about the Boot Camp:

JUST THINK ABOUT IT!

You can spend three exciting days with other sleuthing aficionados. When you leave the boot camp, you'll have all of the preliminary work done to write your very-own memorable event.

As a group, we'll brainstorm motive, means and opportunity while we fine-tune your plot. I'll be there the entire time to share with you my (gulp!) 30 years of experience in putting together a well-crafted murder mystery party.

Here's what you'll get when you register for a Boot Camp:

  • A copy of my Super-Secret Murder Mystery Writing System ($89 value). If you already own it, you'll be receiving a separate email with a special premium available only to you. Preview the workbook by clicking HERE.
  • Three of my mystery parties ($119.31 value). You can pick the ones you want at the Boot Camp.
  • Individual guidance and support as you finalize your own Murder Mystery Party, and the chance to share ideas with your fellow mystery writers (priceless).
  • The warmth and friendliness of a locally owned inn. The Washington House Inn in Cedarburg is an architectural jewel listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. (equally priceless).

YOU'LL LOVE YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS!

All of our sessions will take place at the inn - PLUS, you'll receive a 10% discount on your room when you tell Wendy Porterfield (the innkeeper) that you're a Mystery Writer. The discount applies to a bloc of six rooms reserved for us at the Washington House. The inn is a popular destination and is holding rooms whose regular rates are $100 and $145. You'll be able to get them for the ridiculously low rates of $91 and $130.50. You'll need to act quickly to get these special deals.

Just take a look at the Washington House Inn's website to see how this renovated gem of a building adds the perfect touch to a mystery writer's inspiration.

And Cedarburg itself, an old mill town of 11,000 people founded in 1846, has over 200 buildings on the Register. It's a popular tourist attraction that will be an added bonus to your Mystery Writing Boot Camp. In 2011, Forbes Magazine named Cedarburg one of America's "eleven prettiest towns" alongside such places as Gettysburg Pennsylvania, Cooperstown New York, and Sonoma California. Browse the website of my hometown and you'll see what I mean. Cedarburg is a place where "Art is a Tradition."

Then, Midwest Living Magazine named our fair city "one of the Midwest's six best holiday shopping towns." Plus, the Wisconsin Museum of Quilting and Fiber Arts recently opened in a converted barn at the edge of the city.

If you decide to stay in Cedarburg for a few extra days, you'll notice a plethora of artists in the streets. That's because the annual Plein Air Artist competition will be starting, a lead-in to the 2013 Strawberry Fest. The street festival attracts visitors from all over the Midwest.

All in all, you'll love Cedarburg as much as I do!

WHAT ABOUT COST?

The registration fee is only $497. You'll pay your own expenses and might even want to stay an extra day or two to tour the spring pleasures of the surrounding areas.

CLICK HERE to Register!

Milwaukee's General Mitchell International is the closest airport to Cedarburg, but some people prefer to fly into Chicago or Madison. Since you'll be staying over a Friday night, you'll be able to find a great fare.

Our select group of writers will be STRICTLY LIMITED TO SIX SCENARIOS. That way everyone will have the chance to share suggestions and story ideas.

You can bring a second person to the Boot Camp - but you'll only be able to work on ONE mystery. Your writing associate can attend the entire event for a special fee of $297.

AND, your associate can select TWO additional mysteries for a TOTAL of FIVE mystery parties that you can stage for your esteemed colleagues.

CLICK HERE to Register with Your Associate!

As always, I am available in my Subterranean World Headquarters here in Cedarburg at (262)377-7230. I will be pleased to answer any questions you might have.

Don't delay! The crime clock is ticking - and space is limited.

Sleuthfully,
