There seem to be dozens of science fiction conventions every year, but this is the first I've heard of a mystery convention. I'm sure there are a fair number, but I've missed the memos.
Anyway, there's an organization calling itself Left Coast Crime which is planning its 2009 meeting in my neighborhood! It would mean a plane flight a hundred miles or so southeast, but that would be no hardship.
So, mystery aficionados, come to the Left Coast Crime annual convention at beautiful Waikoloa on the West coast of the Big Island of Hawai'i, north of Kona on the Kohala coast! The event will take place beginning March 7, 2009 and run through March 12.
The honorees this time are Rhys Bowen, author of the Constable Evans and Molly Murphy series, and Barry Eisler, author of the John Rain series.
