Kicking off Thursday, March 16, 2017, is
the Left Coast Crime Conference in Honolulu. This conference is held annually
in February or March in different cities in the western part of the United
States. It provides an opportunity for mystery fans and mystery writers to
mingle, attend panels and share their love of the mystery genre.
I have the opportunity to moderate the
Meet the New Authors Breakfast at this conference. This year we have thirteen
new authors to introduce to the fans. These are writers who have published
their first mystery/crime/suspense/thriller novel within the last year.
This is the tenth year of holding this event at
the conference, the first being in Denver in 2008. We have had anywhere from
twelve to forty-four new authors in attendance. Each of the new authors gives a
short presentation on the most important thing readers should know about their
debut novel. The new authors shore their enthusiasm of being published, and the
fans have a chance to meet these authors who now have launched their mystery
writing careers.
