The Press Room.
The facts, the author, the assets, and the doors. One room, given plainly, for the desks that ask.
Avery Lane Maxwell is a novelist and innkeeper in Frisco, Colorado, where he is Director of the Frisco Inn on Galena. His novels are written in the building they describe: early mornings at the front desk, between arrivals, in the off-season quiet of a mountain town at nine thousand feet.
His debut, Still, by Design., is the atmosphere. Its companion, Good Little Innkeeper, is the reckoning. Both are works of fiction, built on a single conviction: the way something is built is the way it is felt.
Guests at the inn sometimes find the books on the shelf, unannounced. That is the preferred method of discovery.
He writes under a pen name, acknowledged as such. Longer and shorter bios are ready at the desk; ask, and they are yours.
