So many crime fiction conferences have called it quits recently, it was with great sadness we learned in January that Murder and Mayhem in Muskego was shutting down, too. The conference's major sponsor, the Friends of the Library, was no longer able to support this event, because the ALA's rules require that all library programs should be free and open to the public.
Fast forward to August and the arrival of news that the conference is being reborn as Murder and Mayhem in Milwaukee! Organizers Jon Jordan, Ruth Jordan, Erica Ruth Neubauer, and Penny Halle have switched venues to the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino and already lined up a great group of authors, including (so far):
Carole Barrowman
Kristi Belcamino
Susanna Calkins
Dana Cameron
Jessie Chandler
Sean Chercover
Matthew Clemons
Blake Crouch
Ian Hamilton
Chris Holm
Jess Lourey
Lori Rader-Day
Rob Riley
Todd Robinson
Marcus Sakey
Tom Schreck
Alex Segura
Johnny Shaw
Frank Wheeler Jr
They have a new website, too, as well as a new Facebook page with all the details, including the date - November 1. The registration fee helps to pay for the facilities and running the event, with any leftover money to be split between a local literacy charity and next year's event.
