Hope you have a chance to check it out!<br /><br />Jim, it would be great to have you back at the festival.<br /><br />E.B., it was a wonderful line up and we had standing room only for both sessions (a total of 2500 people attending the festival that day!)<br /><br />KM, Murder as You Like It sounds wonderful.<br /><br />Warren, someday I hope to attend Left Coast Crime.<br /><br />Sasscer, our fabulous Palmetto Chapter VP, it was great to have you there!<br /><br />Shari and Kara, tell me about it! I told Ms. Cannell, "You made my day," and she answered, "No, you made mine." How can anyone be more gracious? What a truly wonderful person she is. I understand why her agent Meg Ruley established a scholarship to come to Malice in Dorothy Cannell's honor.<br /><br />Hope, thank you. You're awesome, too. Thanks for being there.<br /><br />Hank! Thank you for posting! Yes, definitely I will be at Bouchercon and looking to see you there. Next year, we need you at the SC Book Festival. Believe me, I told plenty of people that this past weekend!Paula Gail Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843350597811462936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-88226215893824134002015-05-19T17:49:40.365-04:002015-05-19T17:49:40.365-04:00So fabulous!

I was at Malice, and loved being there.<br /><br />My favorite local conference is Murder as You Like It, a one-day event in Mechanicsburg, PA (just south of Harrisburg.) It's organized by the dedicated staff of an independent bookstore. This year, it will be held on Sept. 26th.<br /><br />Here's the link for anyone who might be interested.<br /><br />http://mysterybooksonline.com/event/murder-as-you-like-it-conference-3/KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-21059436979558629872015-05-19T07:22:51.018-04:002015-05-19T07:22:51.018-04:00Many of the authors you mentioned, I have never he...Many of the authors you mentioned, I have never heard of or read. I must add some of them to my TBR pile. I wonder if the afterlife will extend my reading time. Glad you participated in the conference, but more important, you had fun!

If I had known the latest Guppy Anthology was out, I would have bought it at Malice, which if I'd been keeping up with the huge amount of Guppy Digests that have been flooding my inbox, I would have known. It all sounds like a wonderful month for you. Except for Malice, my May has mostly been spent at home enjoying my morning walks in the woods and my gardens following the progression of blooming plants, shrubs and trees, and unfortunately the burgeoning weeds and mowing grass that is on steroids.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.com
