What would you do if you won a prize for an all-expenses-paid writing retreat? Airfare, taxis, hotels, everything you needed to get there and write? Would you accept?

How amazing would it be to spend a month among like-minded people, without worrying about the cost? All you need is your imagination and a lot of paper and pens. Martie Montgomery experiences this firsthand. She's excited and can't wait to meet other authors and flex her writing chops by attempting her first novel. But when she arrives, nothing is as she imagined. She wonders if she's made the biggest mistake of her life.

She's alone on a deserted island. No other writers or mentors are there. She also worries the island isn't deserted. She's read about cannibals living in exotic locations.

Then the retreat takes a sharp turn, and writing her first novel isn't just a challenge; it's essential if she's going to save the life of her on-screen idol, Cary Grant. The pressure is on, and having never written anything substantial, she needs to step up and believe in herself.
