I am a mystery/thriller fan so I might be able to help a little. :-)<BR/><BR/>One of my favorite authors actually e-mailed me today to say she was on her way to Bouchercon. She has a new book coming out this November that I'm waiting on pins and needles to read. Her name is Karen E. Olson. If you do run into her (and can remember) tell her hello from me! Karen is the author of the Annie Seymour, crime reporter series set in Connecticut. Karen is currently working on a new series featuring a tattoo shop owner in Las Vegas.<BR/><BR/>Gosh! There are so many I would love to meet that are going to be there. I am so jealous!<BR/><BR/>Oh, oh! Craig Johnson! I adore his books. He's my new favorite mystery author this year. He writes the Sheriff Longmire series set in Wyoming. He really knows how to bring a place to life.<BR/><BR/>My friend Christine would like you to tackle Harlan Coben if you get the chance. She has a major crush on him and loves his books. He writes a series about a sports agent as well as stand alones.<BR/><BR/>Have a great time!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-55642803842622161972008-10-08T19:26:00.000-04:002008-10-08T19:26:00.000-04:00You've been mimed, er memed, uh, given an award - ...You've been mimed, er memed, uh, given an award - <A HREF="http://residentreader.blogspot.com/2008/10/award-winning-blog.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-57747810342511451702008-10-08T18:43:00.000-04:002008-10-08T18:43:00.000-04:00My very favorite mystery author happens to be on t...My very favorite mystery author happens to be on this list. Laurie R. King writes two different series and has written several standalone novels. The series that I read is the Mary Russell series, which follows a young American woman who is orphaned, moves to Britain, and meets and eventually marries (!) Sherlock Holmes. It's a marvelous series that even Holmes purists enjoy. She also writes the Kate Martinelli series. (I don't read these, but I believe they are police procedurals.)<BR/><BR/>I reviewed her latest book, Touchstone at http://shelflove.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/touchstone-review/<BR/><BR/>She also blogs at http://laurierking.com/wp.php/. She's been blogging about Bouchercon quite a bit lately.<BR/><BR/>(I'm so jealous. I'd love to be going. I even live close enough that it would be feasible, but it's not happening.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-12974352444390650532008-10-08T17:58:00.000-04:002008-10-08T17:58:00.000-04:00I'm not a big mystery reader either.

If it were me though, I would just explain that mystery is not a genre that I am very familiar with, but that I hope to learn more about it while at the convention. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687620527201679249noreply@blogger.com
