Well, a swell time was had by all. I moderated a panel called "Without a Fedora: New Directions in Noir" (wearing a fedora, of course) with Bret R. Wright, Roger Hobbs, Robert Downs and Baer Charlton, and another (due to the lamentable absence of Steve Mertz) called "Mean Streets: Pulp Detectives of the Past & Present," with Craig Faustus Buck, William E. Wallace, Tim Wohlforth and Dale W. Berry. Somehow, I failed to take any selfies. I also failed to take photos of Angela Sanders moderating a fine panel called "Not Just Cats & Quilts, the Evolution of the Cozy," or of the esteemed Richard and Barbara Robinson gracing the panels with their presence. Nuts.
The Right Reverend Cap'n Bob Napier enthralls the crowd on "It's a Living: Odd Jobs & Strange Professions." With moderator Linda Joffe Hull, Diane Valler, Tammy Kaehler and Camille Minichino.
Christine Finlayson (far right) wrangles "The Great Outdoors: Murder in Nature," with Shannon Baker, Mark Stevens and Christine Carbo.
David Schlosser (left) waxes eloquent on "Editing Your Own Work: Approaches to Rewriting," with Hannah Dennison, Margaret Lucke, Philip Margolin and Judith Janeway.
And Doug Levin shows off the 2002 book containing his first published story. It was priced at well over two hundred bucks, but well worth it, I'm sure.
