Remembering the founding of Malice Domestic.

Barbara Mertz, by Sue Feder

My friend Dean James (aka Miranda James) and I were invited by Dr. Elizabeth Mertz (daughter of Barbara Mertz/Barbara Michaels/Elizabeth Peters) to reminisce about the founding of the Malice Domestic convention in which her mother played such an integral role.  It's presented in two parts: Part 1, Part 2.

25 years of Malice.

There's a new 25-year history of the Malice Domestic convention, Not Everyone's Cup of Tea, available from Wildside Press. I was a cofounder of the convention and wrote a piece on the Malice anthologies. There are photos and plenty of other goodies included, written by distinguished authors such as Rhys Bowen, Charlaine Harris, Carolyn Hart, Peter Lovesey, and Peter Robinson.

I've received several requests to post "Fostering Mystery History: A Manifesto," my speech as Fan Guest of Honor at Malice Domestic XX on April 26th. Click on the link below to read it.

Off to Malice.

The Bunburyist will take a break for a few days while I attend Malice Domestic (I am one of the fan guests of honor). Back next week.
