Edith/Maddie writing from a blustery north of Boston. Yes, March is still coming in like a lion.

Three of the Wicked Authors are traveling to Denver, Colorado this week for the Left Coast Crime fan convention.

Liz/Cate, Julie, and I are looking forward to schmoozing with fans, hanging out with fellow authors whom we usually see only online, visiting with each other, and casting our eyes on some real western mountains. Actually, that last is probably mainly my anticipation. This native Californian misses living with massive shapes on the horizon.

If you’re going, we look forward to seeing you! If you’re not, we’ll post a trip report after we get back.

Here’s where we’ll be:

Edith/Maddie will be with some of her Mystery Lovers’ Kitchen blogmates on the “Mysteries with Recipes” panel Saturday at 9. She’s also hosting an Author-Reader Connection with Leslie Budewitz on Thursday to share a glass of wine at 5:45. Or you can sign up for a cuppa with Kensington authors Friday at 11. She’s hosting a table at the banquet, too, also with Leslie Budewitz. Otherwise, look for Edith/Maddie in the bar!

Liz/Cate will be on the panel “A Little Bit of Magic” Saturday at 1:30 with Daryl Wood Gerber, Gigi Pandian, and Jen Chow, moderated by Kate Lansing. Come check it out! Otherwise, she’ll be around all weekend!

Julie will be on the “Senior Sleuths” panel Saturday at 10:15. She’ll also be sitting at the Sisters in Crime table for chunks of time (between 11-3 Thursday/Friday/Saturday, and will be cheering on debut authors at the New Author Breakfast Friday morning.

Readers: Will you be there? If not, do you have a favorite place to meet authors, whether in person or online?
