The indie bookstore BookHampton (in New York's Hamptons) is sponsoring its second annual Mayhem Mystery Festival May 14th through 16th, featuring readings, panels, screenings and conversations. Last year's inaugural festival included Lee Child, Susan Isaacs, Linda Fairstein, Andrew Gross and Megan Abbott, among others, and the organizers are still lining up participants for this year's event. All interested authors can send e-mail to [email protected]. The BookHampton site will have more information for attendees on its site soon.
Speaking of Lee Child, coming up even sooner is Left Coast Crime at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel, March 11-14. Janet Rudolph has all the latest updates about the schedule, including who's going to be on hand. In addition to Lee Child and Jan Burke, Bill Fitzhugh will serve as Toastmaster and Michael Connelly is hosting a reception, but there are over 200 authors all told. One of the additional highlights is a tour of California Forensic Science Institute to study DNA, blood analysis, fingerprinting and evidence handling.
