The Left Coast Crime Conference wrapped up yesterday.
Excellent conference with kudos to Christine Goff and Suzanne Proux for putting
it all together. I didn’t win The Lefty Award for the best humorous mystery of
2012 (Cruising in Your Eighties Is Murder),
but it’s an honor to be a finalist. The winners by category were:
The Lefty – Brad Parks, The Girl Next Door
The Bruce Alexander – Catrionia McPherson, Dandy Gilver and an Unsuitable Day
The Rocky – Craig Johnson, As the Crow Flies
The Watson – Rochelle Staab, Brouja Brouhaha
A guest appearance was made by Lou Diamond Phillips to
interview guest of honor, Craig Johnson. Craig’s books led to the Longmire television
series, and Lou plays the role of Henry in the show.
One of the highlights was the Concealed Gun Fashion Show,
sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Chapter of Mystery Writers of America. Here’s author Parnell Hall trying to get a concealed knife out of his lipstick.
