Malice Domestic 2017

Posted on by

 

Another great Malice – except for the renovations to the parking lot and hotel, Nightmare. I heard via the grapevine that next year will be in a different location. I love the area around Bethesda but navigating the parking lot was a sore tiral.

Below is a picture of my favorite panel: Murder Most British. I was so captivated that when a friend said hello I jumped a foot. Although I don’t write mysteries with a British setting, I love to read them.

I also have to give a shout out to the interview with Elaine Viets and Ann Cleeves, two favorite authors. Very very funny. Best line of the weekend: the sandwich looked like an autopsy on bread.

Malice and More

I think about my experiences at Malice domestic for weeks: things I’ve heard and people I’ve met. so wonderful to hear the experiences of other writers and their tips, whether they think of their conversations as tips or not. I’ve been a fan of both Katherine Hall Page and Victoria Thompson for years (decades really) so it was a thrill to attend their interviews.

All in all, a great conference.

But I also planned to participate in Goshen’s Noah Webster Art Walk Friday night. So, I got home the previous Monday night and tried to catch up Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then, besides work, stayed out late for the Art Walk.

Next year I have to do a better job of planning my activities.

I spent last weekend in Maryland at Malice Domestic. This was my first Malice and I had a great time. I had planned to take lots of pictures but got caught up in the activity and only took two, of a fairly early panel.

At least this one was with Sara Paretsky.

I always find listening to other authors interesting as I discover how similar our experiences are.

I always go home with bags of books.
