Bouchercon St. Louis


Bouchercon, that mad beast that cannot really be described to those who weren't there. Does one even try?

Quite simply, Bouchercon is a mystery lover's OZ minus the wicked witch. Four days of walking down paths you've never trod before and enjoying food,wine, coffee, dancing,singing, bowling and conversation with friends you may have never even met. If you had pulled back the curtain this year you'd have found Jon Jordan and a staff of volunteers who made every little thing work as seamlessly as possible.

























From our very first exploratory trip, the committee knew that St. Louis would be a great place to have a Bouchercon. It was up to us to lay the groundwork. We had no doubt that everyone would be able to make their own fun.






















That the Guest of Honors made everyone welcome was a given. There is not a better group of writers in our community.





















Here's to Cleveland!!

I think this was one of the better B'Cons in my short memory (I've been to six or seven). Very well done. Apparently I missed a panel on cursing though...
