Bouchercon 2016 – Blood on the Bayou

Hi Y’all,
I survived my first Bouchercon! It was far more intense and overwhelming than I had envisioned. With over 2,000 people in attendance, a record for the conference, it was impossible to execute my plan of attack. With a couple of dinners and lunches, I was able to meet up with a few friends, but mostly, I just went with the flow. Once I let go and interacted with the person who was beside me at a panel, riding the elevator with me, or drinking beside me in the bar, it was great!

Serendipity placed me in the lobby of the Marriott with Michael Connelly leaning against a wall waiting for his next appointment. I asked for a pic and he graciously complied:

There was a parade over to the Orpheum where the Anthony Awards were given. Bill snapped this shot of me:

And, I snapped this shot of the parade group led by Lee Child:

We stayed an extra day to tour New Orleans and got this shot of the Mississippi River:

While New Orleans was fun, there’s a lot of excitement going on right here. In honor of Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher, Tom is the Boy Toy of the month.  In appreciation of Texas Legato Winery hosting a book signing, happy hour and BBQ in October, Family Reunion is the wine pairing of the month. In celebration of Austin Mystery People’s win of the Silver Falchion Award, Murder on Wheels is the book pairing of the month.

Happy Reading,
Manning
