The Stalker's Guide to Finding Chris (and Kat!) at LCC 2016

Left Coast Crime is, without a doubt, one of my favorite conventions—and I'm not just saying that because THE KILLING KIND is up for a Lefty. (Thanks kindly to everyone who nominated me!) Its big-but-not-too size, gorgeous venues, and killer programming invariably conspire to create an awesome experience.

This will be my third straight year attending, and I've every faith it'll be as much fun as the last two... although I do have a bone to pick with the programmers. For the first time since Katrina and I started attending cons in 2011, we're scheduled opposite one another—and since she's way more charming than I am, I don't stand a chance at winning that head-to-head. (She also happens to review for Publishers Weekly, Mystery Scene, and Crimespree, which means every writer in attendance should be eager to hear what she has to say. But also, the whole charming thing.)

If you're headed to Phoenix next week, here's where you can find me (and Kat):
