The best part of the Bouchercon World Mystery Convetion is the chance to hobnob with crime fiction royalty including Lee Child, David Morrell, and Sara Paretsky; to catch up with old friends including Gar Anthony Haywood, D.P. Lyle, and S.J. Rozan; to have long talks about storytelling, the publishing biz, and the writing life with the likes of Timothy Hallinan, Tim O’Mara, and Thomas Perry; and to chat with hundreds of readers. Here are a few selfies from the event, which was held in Long Beach last weekend.
