2009 Crime Bake

Another Crime Bake is in the books. As usual, I had the opportunity to hang out with many of my fellow Sisters in Crime, agents and mystery enthusiasts alike. At left, I'm looking as tired as ever at the Sunday breakfast with the sensational Sue Grafton (thanks to NE SinC Vice President Pat Remick for the picture).

From what I could tell, the 2009 Crime Bake was a great success. I'd like to personally thank all the generous publishers who donated magazines this year. Without their support, the 280 tote bags that were distributed would have been awfully light.

I'd also like to thank everyone who purchased a Crime Bake coffee mug from me at the conference. The committee was extremely pleased that they sold out. All proceeds will be going towards making next year's Crime Bake another roaring success.
