Deadly Ink Mystery Conference coming up
by Oline H. Cogdill
June 2nd, 2010Does everyone remember his or her first time?
I know I do – it was at the Monterrey Bouchercon in 1997.
Of course, I am talking about the first time I ever attended a mystery writers conference. What did you think I was talking about?
My husband and I had been married for a little over a year and we made it into a big vacation, spending more than a week visiting Monterrey, Carmel and the Hearst Castle. Since we are both mystery fiction fans, we both found much to like about that Bouchercon and, whenever we could, have tried to make Bouchercons part of our lives ever since. I will always be grateful to that Bouchercon’s organizers, the gracious Bill and Toby Gottfried and crew.
What struck me most about that conference was the camaraderie of mystery authors and the gathering of like-minded fans. Putting aside differences in religion, politics, cats vs. dogs, and what temperature to set the thermometer, everyone was just focused on the books and the authors who supplied these wonderful stories.
Since that first Bouchercon, more and more regional conferences have popped up, which I applaud.
So I urge anyone who can to attend the Deadly Ink Mystery Conference June 25 to June 27 at the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel in Parsippany, NJ.
The conference program is being finalized, but it looks as if it will be a good event. Here’s a link to registration.
Guest of honor will be Gillian Roberts, left, author of the Anthony Award winning Amanda Pepper series and the Emma Howe series. Roberts has long been a personal favorite of mine. When I first started to review mysteries, her novels were among the first I focused on. Roberts’ series about English teacher and accidental sleuth Amanda Pepper combine an insightful look at academic life with a view of Philadelphia.
Toastmaster will be Cheryl Solimini, author of Across the River. In addition, Cheryl is a journalist who has written numerous magazine articles. She’s also a colleague whose work often appears in Mystery Scene Magazine, which also is one of the conference sponsors.
The organizers are another reason why the Deadly Ink Mystery Conference should be worth a visit. Christine Abbott and Debby Buchanan are co-chairing the conference and are both editors at Deadly Ink Press, which publishes, among others, Roberta Rogow’s historical mystery series and Solimini’s novel.
The Deadly Ink conference is another way that lets readers connect with authors.
