The Best of All Possible Conferences
And it’s free! The Poisoned Pen, a bookstore, press, and all around fabulous institution, is having its annual conference June 24th-26th at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa.
There are many good reasons to attend the Poisoned Pen Conference:
– Some of my absolute favorite authors, including Diana Gabaldon, Sharon Kay Penman, and P.F. Chisholm;
– A late night reading and pajama party (we authors will be reading some of the, ahem, steamier bits of our manuscripts);
– A raffle for an $100 gift Poisoned Pen gift certificate;
– An obscenely good rate at the Biltmore for those who choose to stay at the hotel;
– Plus, have I mentioned that the conference is completely free? You can attend any of the events and programs entirely gratis, with the one exception of–
– A Georgette Heyer Tea!! Yes, folks, the grand finale of the conference is a tea party dedicated to the great Georgette Heyer, with little tea sandwiches, discussions of her life and works, and a “pick your favorite Heyer line” contest. This is the only part of the conference for which there is a charge ($25/person). You can attend the rest of the conference without attending the tea, and vice versa.
You can find more info on the Poisoned Pen site here. See you in Arizona….
