Paulette---I didn't know you wrote poetry! Would you consider going next year when Crais will be a guest of honor? A whole bunch of Craisies are already planning to be there. Shell---I was so sleep deprived I almost went back in time. Feeling much better now, thanks. When I met Hilary, I immediately looked around for stairs so I could, well, you know, but all I could find were escalators. Christine---I wouldn't have had as much fun if you weren't there, my partner in crime. We shall not divulge what we did with giant greasy pretzels and Brad Parks. Brad---Oh, hi, Brad. Um, no, we weren't talking about you. Any time you need more entries in that scrapbook, let me know. Insults aside, I'm thrilled about your Shamus win. Don't stroke it too much or you'll rub your name right off.

What a great surprise it was to meet you in person, Lauren! I will eventually get on Twitter, but those using “Amish”-techno phones shouldn’t be throwing stones. Ha! 😉

BTW, what did I miss? Would-be muggers? Peeping phone guys? You think Uniball’s marketing will be calling?

I have filled the scrapbook in my mind with all the insults you lobbed at me, and I shall cherish them always. ; )

Bouchercon was such a great time!! For the fans, if you get an opportunity, I highly recommend attending B’con. What PCN said about the generosity, fun and laughter was spot on.

It was fantastic to see you again, Elyse! Big hugs, my fabulous friend!

I just checked Hilary Davidson’s website. Wow, you’re not wrong about the impeccable dressing. What a wonderful time you’ve had, PCN. I’m delighted for you and looking forward to hearing more. When you’ve caught up on some sleep.

I like cupcakes, I like books
I like mysteries, crime and crooks!
I like how you write with flair…
I wish, oh wish, I had been there!

Naomi---No reason to be jealous. If you envy me, you'd have to take on all my weirdness, e.g. the sensitive gag reflex & bridge phobia, both of which were in play during B'con. le0---It WAS fantastic! Thought of you and wished you were there. Christine wanted to take a pic of herself, me, and Jen for you but somehow we were never in one place at the same time. Sophie---Seeing you and meeting your Pens were definite highlights for me. Congrats again on the Anthony! debbied---Did I mention the naked Twister and artichoke pizza? I SO wish you could have come, if for no other reason than to get free books. Jann---I'm also bummed you had to cancel. I know at one point you were planning on volunteering and I wanted to meet you. I didn't get to see Alafair or her shoes. Will have to hunt down a photo! Lauren---Would love to see you wrestling Paul but it'd have to be sumo wrestling. No, that's not a crack at anybody's weight; I just want to see you guys in top knots and giant diapers. Will pass along sentiments to thieving roommate. She wrote the book titled 101 Ways to Cause Trouble. Elizabeth---I can't believe I missed meeting you. It WILL happen someday! Didn't get to meet Stuart Neville, either, but was introduced to Marcia Clark. Love her new sleek 'do. EIREGO---If you'd like, I can do a blow-by-blow re-enactment in your living room. That's the kind of service I provide.

Dang! Sounds like I really missed out on all the festivities! Can’t wait to see the next post on Bouchercon.

Wonderful and hiilarious! Made me wish I’d been there. Oh, wait, I was! In my lavender disco pants! A highlight for me was meeting Northern Ireland author Stuart Neville and OJ prosecutor Marcia Clark. BCon was a rich immersion in the best genre in beautiful San Francisco. Next time, I hope, PCN!
