With the 25th anniversary edition of Malice Domestic having concluded this past Sunday, it is time, clearly, to begin making plans for next year's conference.
Why, you ask? Well a partial answer would have to include the honorees next year:
- Guest of Honor: Kathy Lynn Emerson;
- Toastmaster: Earlene Fowler;
- Lifetime Achievement Awards - three, count 'em, three: Dorothy Cannell, Joan Hess and Margaret Maron;
- Malice Remembers: Reginald Hill
- Poirot Award: Tom Schantz
- Fan Guest of Honor: Audrey Reith
Add to that honor roll the usual features of the Malice Domestic program - panels galore, interviews with the honorees, book signings, Malice Go Round to expose attendees to as many authors as possible, the voting for, and awarding of, the Agatha Awards, and so much more. It all happens May 2 to May 4, 2014, at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda. And, yes, registration is open now.
My wife and I are already registered. We hope to see you there. If you've never been to a Malice Domestic conference, you will be amazed and delighted. Promise.
"My wife and I are already registered."
Woo hoo!

For those who don't know her, Barb is the person responsible for programming the panels and other Malice events. I'm not sure quite how she does it, but the programs just keep getting better each year. She's also a published author with several excellent short stories in print. You'll enjoy meeting her at the next Malice!
