Jule Selbo is off to the huge mystery writers conference in Nashville this week. BOUCHERCON is held once a year – a different location each year – and it’s days full of panels and lectures and talks and networking. This year Harlan Corben, Anthony Horowitz, J. T. Ellison, Brad Thor and Rachel Hall are among the featured guests. First thing Jule is going to do is take a backstage tour of the Grand Ol’ Opry – and then it’ll be time to get busy focusing on the craft of mystery writing. ALSO*** BIG NEWS*** Jule turned in the next book in the Dee Rommel Series. 7 DAYS last week! She’s already working on 6 DAYS. She was a guest on WUCB, Wisconsin Radio also last week, talking about mystery writing and her Dee Rommel Mystery Series.
Curious about attending a mystery conference? The New England Crime Bake is small, friendly, and full of great panels and authors.
