When Jean Schaumberg and I offered the Tony Hillerman Writers Conference in Albuquerque, N.M. each November, we always heard "Please do the conference in Santa Fe." So, for 2010, we've made the big move! Our headquarters this year is the beautiful Inn and Spa at Loretto, pictured here. After much begging, we were able to get a great room rate, and free valet parking at this lovely, full service hotel. Loretto has special meaning to Jean and me. Both of us went to school on this very site, when it was home to Loretto Academy, a girls' school run by the Sisters of Loretto.
To make sure that our guests have time to enjoy Santa Fe, we've fiddled with the schedule a bit to give folks some free time between morning and afternoon sessions to walk to the Plaza (just two short blocks away), shop, visit museums and soak up Santa Fe's historic ambiance. And the hotel will offer the lower rate both before and after the conference, too, for those who want to combine a lilttle vacation with the conference.
We hope those of you who wanted to come to Santa Fe will use this opportunity. Jean and I are delighted to have the chance to show you our hometown.
November 12-13, Tony Hillerman Writers Conference, Santa Fe, N.M.
