It did seem especially exhausting this year - so much to do and so little time, plus we all had to get used to the new venue, I guess. Can't wait until next year!Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-46907471308454814042018-05-03T13:07:28.138-04:002018-05-03T13:07:28.138-04:00Paula, I'm sorry that I missed you, but I had ...Paula, I'm sorry that I missed you, but I had car problems and had to take my car to my car repair place and ended up waiting there for over an hour and they said they'd have to work on it tomorrow so I drove home and then tried to find someone free to pick me up if I took it back down after they closed and put my key in the hole to put keys in. By the time I got home I had so much to do like take care of my barn critters and fix supper, etc. I had my carpet cleaning guys coming this morning so I had to start taking stuff out of my living room that was easy enough to move. Still, that's no real excuse except I thought I had already put it on.<br /><br /> Kathleen, I hope you're able to go next year, too. I missed you and am sorry I couldn't spend more time talking to you when you were there for the signing. I needed to get ready for the banquet since I was co-hosting a table.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-57770499019039050752018-05-03T11:22:08.698-04:002018-05-03T11:22:08.698-04:00I didn't get to Malice for the first time in s...I didn't get to Malice for the first time in several years, and I really missed it!<br /><br />Next year, I hope.<br />KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-88081577841349222272018-05-03T10:30:18.058-04:002018-05-03T10:30:18.058-04:00Thanks, Gloria, for putting this all together and ...Thanks, Gloria, for putting this all together and including my comments!

It truly is a family reunion and the one time I know I can connect with WWK blogging mates. I was so proud to see Debra Goldstein's short story nominated for an Agatha. Shari Randall announcing her first novel, and Gloria Alden on a panel. Friday evening I table-hopped, joining Linda Landrigan and Shelly Costa before spending some quality time time with Dru Ann Love. My own Saturday panel on "Murderous Wit" introduced me to five fantastic writers, Sparkle Abby (Mary Lee Woods and Anita Carter) Ginger Bolton, Becky Clark and Lida Sideris. Becky Clark explained it to us all; humor is funny. The room dissolved in laughter. Dorothy McFalls and I live about 90 minutes from each other, but we only seem to meet at Malice. At the banquet, I was delighted to join Art Taylor's table and hob knob with such esteemed writers and editors as Tara Laskowski, Alan Orloff, Michael Bracken, and Janet Hutchings. Before leaving I had a few moments to catch up with Grace Topping and get the WWK group picture in front of the banner celebrating Malice's 30th year. May we have many more!Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-60196862082731303072018-05-03T09:16:15.000-04:002018-05-03T09:16:15.000-04:00It sounds like great fun!It sounds like great fun!Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-28139557986138560952018-05-03T09:12:46.320-04:002018-05-03T09:12:46.320-04:00Lots of fun...and note...the friend being embraced...Lots of fun...and note...the friend being embraced is Gigi Pandion who won the Agatha for best short story for an excellent tale.<br />Debra H.

Yes, I had a good time, but it's always nice getting home, too.<br /><br />Margaret, it was well worth going to. So nice meeting people I'd met before and getting acquainted with new ones, too.<br /><br />Elaine, I hope you can go next year. I can understand why you couldn't this year.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-70100279420162920552018-05-03T08:49:21.015-04:002018-05-03T08:49:21.015-04:00I love going to Malice!

Since I couldn't travel to the DC area two weekends in a row, I had to miss this year. Hopefully, next year!E. B.
