Yes, I was carrying my phone everywhere and snapping photos. Hope you enjoy the Maron book. As I recall, that particular book is one of the later ones in the Deborah Knott series and in it, she meets Maron's other protagonist. Good luck!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-86791458138917178282018-05-30T14:13:27.881-05:002018-05-30T14:13:27.881-05:00I absolutely loved reading all about your time at ...I absolutely loved reading all about your time at this amazing event. You out-did yourself with the photos, which I'm glad you did. I feel like I was there with you. You gave me a great list of new-to-me authors that I want to try. However. before I read them, you have challenged me to read a Margaret Maron mystery - an author I have overlooked. The library only had a few of her books on audio, so I asked for Three Day Town. I'll let you know what I think. Thanks for inspiring me, and thanks for sharing your trip with all of us.

I have read one book by Terry Shames, the first in her series and it was very good. I only had a minor problem with the story being told in present tense. But I do have the 2nd book to read. And I seem to have adjusted to present tense in the Elly Griffiths book I just finished, so maybe that won't bother me in this one.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-60682130723354533512018-05-19T06:02:32.582-05:002018-05-19T06:02:32.582-05:00Probably not for next year.

I would love to go to one of the mystery conferences though as I would know many more authors. That's great that you go to sit with some Texas authors! My book club read Terry Shames first novel earlier this year but unfortunately due to my class I wasn't able to attend the discussion. I think she may have been in attendance too. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your experience at Malice Domestic.

The anthology that was printed to debut at this conference was edited or presented by Nancy. She signed my copy.

She's wonderful to listen to.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.com
