Noircon (in Philadelphia, Nov. 4-7) is less than a year away. Please consider attending.
George Pelecanos is guest of honor.
Johnny Temple (of Akashic Books) is publishing guest of honor.
Also tentatively scheduled to attend include: Laura Lippman, Reed Farrel Coleman, Scott Phillips, Daniel Woodrell, Megan Abbott, Christa Faust, Duane Swierczynski, Jason Starr, Allan Guthrie, Vicki Hendricks, SJ Rozan, Jason Pinter, Anthony Neil Smith, Lorenzo Carcaterra, Charles Ardai, Kent Harrington, and many more.
Busted Flush Press will launch DAMN NEAR DEAD 2 there, with many of the contributors in attendance. Also in time for the convention: Daniel Woodrell's TOMATO RED (w/ new foreword by Megan Abbott) and Reed Farrel Coleman's EMPTY EVER AFTER (w/ new foreword by SJ Rozan). And Reed will have a sixth Moe book out from Tyrus Books, too, entitled INNOCENT MONSTER.
The 2008 Noircon -- put on by Lou Boxer & Deen Kogan (this year's organizers, too) -- was fun, intimate, and very well run, and I have no doubt it'll be the same this time around. For more information or to register, go here:
