I moderated the Meet the New
Authors Breakfast and had the opportunity to introduce 21 new mystery authors.
I have done this over the last eleven years. I particularly enjoy meeting these
enthusiastic new authors and tracking their careers.
I also moderated a panel on
writing multiple genres. We had a lively discussion on the subject of branding
books that cross genres and branding authors who write more than one genre. The
outstanding panelists were Maegan Beaumont, Daryl Wood Garber, Phoef Sutton and
Keith Tittle.
Another highlight was at the
awards banquet where I sat with guest of honor William Kent Krueger and his
wife. He presented each of the people at the table with one of his books and a
can of Spam (from his home state of Minnesota). Here is Kent addressing the
conference.
I am already signed up for
next year’s Left Coast Crime Conference which will be in Vancouver, Canada March
28-31, 2019.
