I am happy to announce that registration has begun for Murder 203: Connecticut’s Mystery Festival, scheduled for Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19.
The festival is a joint venture by the Easton and Westport Libraries for both fans and writers. Attendees will enjoy panel discussions, book signings, writing tips from the professionals, and a unique opportunity to mingle with authors and fellow crime fiction enthusiasts at the Cocktails and Crime reception on Saturday evening.
Twenty-eight authors are scheduled to attend, headed up by our Guest of Honor, New York Times bestselling author Linda Fairstein, a veteran sex-crime investigator and one of America’s foremost legal experts on crimes of sexual assault and domestic violence, who pens the very popular Alexandra Cooper mystery series.
Fairstein’s outstanding soon-to-be released new novel, Lethal Legacy, involves the New York Public Library and its dazzling treasures. You can view a clip of her tour of the NYPL at Amazon.com.
Her character, Cooper, is a Manhattan Assistant District Attorney in the Sex Crimes Prosecution Unit. Lethal Legacy is the eleventh title in the run, which began in 1996 with Final Jeopardy. You can get the full title list from our good friends at Stop, You’re Killing Me!
The event is $65 if you register before February 18. After February 18, registration is $75. You will get a lot for your money, including all of the panels, a Meet the Authors continental breakfast both mornings, lunch on Saturday and admission to Cocktails and Crime on Saturday night. Plus a nifty conference tote bag to fill with some of our fabulous giveaways, not to mention your freshly autographed books.
