Yes, our weekend at the L.A. Times Festival of Books blurred by so fast. But, at least I got some snaps of it! Be sure to check out Pop Culture Nerd's slide show (with captions) of the event and Jen's related post on Reed Farrel Coleman (who was all over the place at the fest):
From top to bottom: Jen and Linda (Mystery Bookstore), The Kingpins book panel (Moderator/author Paula L. Woods, T. Jefferson Parker, Robert Crais, Michael Connelly), Robert Crais on a roll, Brett Battles, RC sending a message to Naomi, James Ellroy and Joseph Wambaugh right before their wild book panel, Jen with Michael Connelly, Linda snapping both, C-SPAN's interview booth at the festival, Robert Crais showing Jeff and Paula his Superbowl winning New Orleans Saints cap, the Kingpins relaxing, RC waving at Pop Culture Nerd, Christine, Jen, and the ultra-suave one, Gregg Hurwitz, author Sara J. Henry, Reed Farrel Coleman and Christine, the Watching the Detectives book panel (moderator/author April Smith, Elizabeth George, Susan Kandel, Lisa Lutz and Stuart Woods), Sara J. Henry and Christine, Christine, Jen and the local wild life, Reed again (I told you he was everywhere) along with one of the nicest, coolest authors there, Duane Swierczynski (on the table right, who signed Naomi's and my copy of Expiration Date).
A big thank you to all of these folks for making this weekend's event an absolutely great time!

Can't thank you enough for getting Swierczy's book & sig for me. Or for the many chuckles I'm getting out of the RC question. I printed off your message from PCN's forum so I can show my friend Carolyn. Since I couldn't be there, you gave me the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteMore than happy to do it--Jen was right there and really reminded me about getting your book signed by Duane (my thanks to her). And, your question was one of the highlights of The Kingpins book panel, Naomi. You were there in spirit, my friend! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for asking Naomi's question, le013; I was too far from the mikes. It wasn't because I was too lazy to get up or anything. Nooooooo...
ReplyDeleteNaomi, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. Wonder if you'll still be chuckling when Elvis and Lucy get married because of you.
Thanks, Elyse. I'm anxiously awaited Naomi's response to that last part ;) .
ReplyDeleteI loved watching the progression of expressions on RC's face while Michael was asking your question, Naomi! He really got a kick out of that! I hope I'm there the next time you see him in person.
ReplyDeleteAnd the officiate for their ceremony will be named after Naomi. :-P
ReplyDeleteI was already anxious to see what would happen in The Sentry and the next Elvis Cole novel. Now because of Naomi's question, that is off the charts due to Naomi's influence on the series! Can't wait :) .
