The programming gurus for this year's Bouchercon in Long Beach, California have invited me to serve on two of the conference's many great discussion panels this year, both of which sound like a lot of fun.
The first, "Just the Facts: Journalists Solving Crimes," takes place Thursday afternoon, November 13, at 4 PM. I'll be moderating that panel featuring authors Richard Belsky, Ellen Crosby, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Susan Union and LynDee Walker.
The second, "Collecting 101: Tips and Tricks from the Experts on Building Your Collection," will be Friday morning, November 14, at 8:30 AM. This time, I'll be a member of the panel, along with Al Abramson, Bill Gottfried, Tom O'Day and Donus Roberts, and the moderator will be Otto Penzler (who is already complaining vociferously about that 8:30 AM starting time...:-).
I know most of the people on both panels, and I can promise you a good time at both of them. I hope I'll be seeing you there - you west coasters in particular should be there!
This sounds great. I shall be miles away in the UK but would love to make it one year. Have a great time on the panels.

Rebecca, I'm sure you would enjoy it, but California is a long way from the UK. Bouchercon is back on the east coast next year (Raleigh, North Carolina), and there is a fairly large contingent traveling from the UK to the conference every year - it would be great if you could come along one year!
