I am going to have to check with my book traveling friend to see if I can talk her into attending. After attending my first Bouchercon this past year, I am ready to try out some other great gatherings. If I could get in some quality time with the Reds, Malice would be wonderful.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-77645403764269145992013-12-27T12:14:21.681-05:002013-12-27T12:14:21.681-05:00Malice was the first conference I attended and it ...Malice was the first conference I attended and it was so much fun!

I'm so delighted to be able to say that I have fans. Oftentimes writing seems such a solitary labor of love.<br /><br />But Malice for me is fun, fun, fun. I only hope grandchild #5 waits until June for her debut from the womb, as is the current plan.<br /><br />See y'all there!Maggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-28469376107950523292013-12-26T21:37:54.655-05:002013-12-26T21:37:54.655-05:00Hey, Paula, hey Terrie!

Honestly, I do...Lisa, there are so many traditions! Honestly, I don't think the presence of a detective is an issue -- there's nearly always an official investigation occurring at the same time as the amateur investigation; the gaps, gaffs, and biases of the police officers are often what spark the amateur to investigate. Sometimes the amateur is a retired professional, like GM Malliet's Father Max Tudor. And Louise Penny's series features official investigators, but has a traditional feel to it.<br /><br />So, come to Malice. Make it your own tradition!Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-39895698864089467482013-12-26T14:53:56.625-05:002013-12-26T14:53:56.625-05:00Hank and Edith, there's an amateur sleuth ... ...Hank and Edith, there's an amateur sleuth ... but there's also a detective and they're at odds.
