Left Coast Crime 2010 kicks off here in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 11 at the Omni Hotel downtown. The Mystery Bookstore is overseeing the bookroom, and Bobby and Linda will both be on panels — Bobby on a panel about book collecting at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, and Linda as one of the "Agents & Editors & Booksellers" on a panel at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. This year's guests of honor are Jan Burke and Lee Child; the fan guest of honor is Janet Rudolph, director of Mystery Readers International and editor of the Mystery Readers Journal; and the toastmaster is our pal Bill Fitzhugh. Details and last-minute registration information are online at http://www.leftcoastcrime.org/2010.
A tweak to the schedule: If you're already making plans to join us on March 20 for our great lineup of Bay Area authors, please note a slight change to the day's events. DAVID CORBETT will kick off the afternoon as scheduled at 1:00, when he discusses and signs DO THEY KNOW I'M RUNNING (Ballantine trade paperback, $15.00), and STEPHEN J. CANNELL will drop in around 1:30 to sign his latest Shane Scully novel, THE PALLBEARERS (St. Martin's, $25.99). DOMENIC STANSBERRY and CARA BLACK will join forces and appear together to talk about their new books, NAKED MOON (Minotaur, $24.99) and MURDER IN THE PALAIS ROYAL (Soho, $25.00) at 3:00 p.m. See you there!
Apologies: we had hoped to have signed copies of DEVILS IN EXILE by Chuck Hogan, as advertised in the March newsletter, but our copies are unsigned. Sorry! |
