I think this is one of the finest events ever for crime and mystery writers. Shoot, it's even going to be a great event for anyone who just likes watching shows like CSI and The Forensic Files. Where else (in one weekend) could you shoot a gun, learn about autopsy, evidence, and police procedure, witness fighting techniques and how cops take weapons away from bad guys, get a crash course on search warrants, DNA, and insect evidence? I am really honored to be a part of such a star-studded program.
Lee, and we're really glad to have you.

I hope people realize we've put a cap on the total number of attendees. We've done that so people are able to interact with their "instructors" and get their questions answered. The conference will NOT be audio or videotaped so that law enforcement officials can speak with candor....
