What Bouchercon Means to Me

So first, a huge thank-you to CJ and Jenny for helming the site for the remainder of the week.

The word’s pretty much leaked out by now but to make it official, from August 29th through to September 1st, I’ll be guest-blogging over at Galleycat. Since I’m not especially good at maintaining two blogs at the same time things will continue to be fairly quiet — at least from me — over here, with the schedule returning to some semblance of normality on Tuesday, September 6.

But let’s face it, practically everybody who reads this will be gearing up for Bouchercon, the Granddaddy of all Mystery Conventions. And so I invite everyone — fan, unpublished writer, author, editor, agent, publicist, whoever — to answer the following questions: why do you attend Bouchercon, and what are your goals (if any) for this particular one?

Send ’em on by email, and I’ll post them here from the 29th through the 31st as part of the Bcon Pre-Game Special.

And if it feels too much like a book report, well hey, it is being held on Labor Day Weekend…
