Malice Domestic 2022 - programming

Besides the panel I moderate (Historical Mysteries - the Rapture of Research on Friday, April 23, 2pm), there are a number of fascinating offerings.

Some of the fascinating topics:
Blurring Genres: Blending a Cozy with Romance? With Fantasy?
Solves a Crime or Feed the Cat?
Can you Google the Killer?

And these are all on Friday, in addition to a panel on The Agatha Best Contemporary Novel Nominees with:
Ellen Byron
Edwin Hill
Louise Penny
Gabriel Valjan

On Saturday, panels range from:
Women in Historical Mysteries: Grappling with Gender Expectations (One I will surely attend) to
How Strong Characters Make a Strong Mystery
How Do Bookstores and Libraries Foster Community? And these are all at 9 am.
Other panels I would like to attend:
Farms, Fields and Felonies: Crime in Remote Settings<

Panels continue through out the day with one interviewing debut novel nominees, discussion of the effects of Covid on the in-person experience, and, of course, the awarding of the Agatha at the banquet.

On Sunday, Hank Phillippi Ryan will interview the International Guest: Sophie Hannah, another not to be missed event.

After the long dry spell of no conferences or in-person activities, I plan on trying to get to as much as I physically can. I will be happily exhausted.
