Bouchercon 2008

Figured it would be fitting to remind one and all that Bouchercon 2008 is going to be in Baltimore Oct 9th-12th.
The theme is Charmed to Death

Zachary Quinto to make first convention appearance.

At Creations Grand Slam April 11th-13th 2008. I'm sure by then we will know much more about Star Trek 11. Wonder how many Heroes fans will show up?

We've added a Cluster map!

Once it starts updating you'll be able to see dots on the world map for where all the visitors are coming from. pretty cool huh?
