Heading off to Bouchercon, yea Brother!
The title is a riff from an old Star Trek episode - "Heading off to Eden, yea brother!" The Enterprise crew encounters hippies...
Anyway, tomorrow I'll be getting on a plane early in the morning, stopping in the midwest somewhere to get onto a different plane that will take me to Alaska. Lovely Fairbanks...I'll be walking from there...
If you'll be there, stop by and see me. I'll be manning the tables at 9 am in the bookroom for the 2008 B'Con on both Friday and Saturday. I have a panel on Friday afternoon with Denise Hamilton, Sam Reeves, Chris Knopf, and Kirk Russell. We'll be defining "Hard-Boiled". Hell of a lot easier than defining "noir" so I'm happy.
Then on Saturday I have a standalone thingy where I talk for thirty minutes on a topic of my own choosing. Planning to dust of my dissertation for that one...
I'll be giving away books while I man the B'Con '08 desk, but only to those who sign up of course.
I get back home late Sunday night. It should be a good time.

Have fun, mate. But watch out for bears!
Yea Brother, be sure to rock out on your zither while you're there!
Steven,
Have the best time and tell us EVERYTHING when you come home.

Hope you're having an awesome time. Got the book and can't wait to dive in. Thanks so much.
Hi Steven,
I received my copy of Bronx Noir. I turned right to "Early Fall." What a heart and gut wrenching story! I felt like Yolanda and I were the same person. I couldn't wait for the torment to end, yet I didn't want the story to end. Way to go! Thank you so much.
Terrie
