Second, it is hard to think noir in the daylight. Third, it IS New York, the city that never sleeps.Keith Raffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926077627965529183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-162405246065026192010-07-13T15:51:37.730-04:002010-07-13T15:51:37.730-04:00Gosh,it looks like thriller writers stay up later ...Gosh,it looks like thriller writers stay up later than cozy writers.

I love reading conference reports and seeing photos of mystery/suspense/thriller authors and readers, especially when they've got some alcohol in them. ;-)<br /><br />Carol, I recommend you attend the Malice Domestic conference, which is focused JUST on cozy/traditional mysteries! I love it and try to attend most years, even though I have to fly in from Colorado.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-75388130167399002752010-07-13T13:27:01.814-04:002010-07-13T13:27:01.814-04:00Josh - our meeting was pre-ThrillerFest and thus o...Josh - our meeting was pre-ThrillerFest and thus outside the ambit of this post.

Loads of fun and one I hate to miss. Covers much more than cozies. Hard to get on a good panel there, too. I wonder whether the best cozy conference is Malice Domestic. Never been there myself though. Small conferences are great, too. I'm still friends with folks I met at Sletuhfest and the now-defunct Con Misterio.Keith Raffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926077627965529183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-16747012707663980822010-07-13T11:35:11.554-04:002010-07-13T11:35:11.554-04:00Thanks for the re-cap!
