Bloody Words Ottawa

Had an excellent time at Bloody Words in Ottawa this past weekend. The organizers did a good job. Great panels. I even got to sit on one about PI's and Police. A great dinner as well. sat with the prolific and funny Rick Mofina as well as Rhys Bowen and Kate Jamet. This conference has really become something great. Lousie Penny and Denise Mina were hilarious during their talks.

Looking forward to Bloody Words X in Toronto next year now.

not surprised you're a professor.
What I was feebly trying to discern you hit on in one sentence.
thank you.

Just met Sandra Ruttan on line yesterday, so I'm going to order her book as well, especially after your note on it. I also dig what you said about the crime not being the only key point in a novel, I like when the focus is on the real situation as well.
All the best in writing!

At 7:38am on June 11, 2008, Sandra Ruttan said…: Hope you enjoy the book. I attended the print journalism program at Loyalist. Ended up going in a different direction, but a lot of those grads move on to Carleton.

Teaching scriptwriting must be quite interesting.

At 5:17am on June 11, 2008, Sandra Ruttan said…: Hi Jeff, thanks for the invite. Do you teach at Carleton? I stayed there when I was on a field trip for grade 8 graduation, which feels like a lifetime ago! Always liked Ottawa.

At 10:28am on May 28, 2008, Lee Lofland said…: Hi Jeff. I'm glad you're enjoying my blog. We must have been in North Carolina at the same time. The Outer Banks is a favorite spot of mine.

At 1:18am on March 26, 2008, L.J. Sellers said…: Hi Jeff
Michael Connelly has made many of the author lists on this site. He's an inspiration to the trade.
Good luck with your writing.

At 7:21am on March 1, 2008, Susan Whitfield said…: Jeff, if you get a chance, please look at the video trailer for Just North of Luck and let me know if you find it as compelling as the cover. All feedback is appreciated.

At 5:42am on February 18, 2008, Christopher Valen said…: I agree, Jeff. The crime writers I've met have all been very helpful and supportive. I wouldn't say that about some of the editors and agents I've met, however.

At 8:17am on February 17, 2008, MysteryDawg said…: Welcome aboard. Look forward to seeing you on the boards.

At 10:51am on February 14, 2008, JackBludis said…: That is one casual Avatar, and a more ecclectic selection of writers than most in this community. Welcome.
