[I'm helping Janet Rudolph, Publicity Chair, and the Gottfrieds, as their Alaska rep. for LCC 2009 -- and this may be my first visit ever to Alaska's playground (Hawaii). In fact, it's reported more Alaskans visit Hawaii every year than any of the other United States. Hope to see you all there!]

To prep for this trip - check out mysteries set in Hawaii... and come prepared to write your own. Stay tuned for more updates.

pohihihi = Hawaiian for mystery

Thank you Karen Laubenstein for putting Left Coast Crime 2009 on this site. The photos are really inviting! So if you are ready to hula, swim and tour along with meeting and hearing from great Mystery authors and fans, join us on the Big Island.
A CORRECTION: We have now programmed March 7 into the Convention Dates so we are now March 7 - 12, 2009!!
Check out our Web Site: for Registration and Hotel Reservation Information, What's happening in Hawaii and more.

Glad to learn the convention will start on SATURDAY instead of SUNDAY, so we can all head on down on FRIDAY and not miss a minute! I can't edit the actual post, so hope folks will keep reading here. Also nice to have both you and Janet on Crimespace! Several annual conferences set up their own page here as an organization, but not sure how to delete it once the convention is over.

[Janet Rudolph]

Don't miss out on this Unconventional Convention. Left Coast Crime 2009 promises to break all rules while still having fun! Dates are March 7-12, 2009, but the low room rates will be in effect 3 days before and 3 days after so you can take advantage of the Island and the many trips we have planned. Check out our website for more information, to register and to see what's new and who's coming!

Say Aloha to Murder!
