Research - oh, what I do for my readers!

Research, it's a tough job. Except when my research requires a trip to one of my favorite Washington getaway towns: Leavenworth. I'm starting a new series and planning to base my fictional town on Washington's beloved Bavarian village. With it's charming architecture and landscaping and jewel like setting in the Cascades it's the perfect place to settle, not only in fiction but in real life. If you enjoy winter sports, summer hiking, rock climbing, and river rafting, shopping, and visiting wineries this place has it all. And tons of inns and B & B's. Yes, nothing wrong with Leavenworth. We enjoyed our stay at the Alpen Rose (check out those goodies included in our package!) and good times with our friends at A Book for All Seasons. Pat and Ed ran away from the rat race and settled in Leavenworth years ago where she fulfilled her dream of owning a bookstore and he became a winemaker and the proud owner of a vineyard. Thanks Ed for sharing your wealth of information on the wine making process! BTW, if any of you are planning a trip to Leavenworth,  be sure to visit their tasting room, D'Vinery. I'm sure your experience will be d'vine!
