Great post, Mi...Hooray! Party time is almost here!<br /><br />Great post, Michael. I went down your list and thought, "Definitely, uh-huh, check, yup," and so on. (Haven't read the Wambaugh ones, though.) Bet your film list is going to be awesome.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you, meeting Jen & Christine (they both get around, don't they?) and stalking some authors!

I've heard great things about <i>The Black Dahlia</i> and <i>The Big Nowhere</i>. He and Joseph Wambaugh are in their own panel this year and the group of us will be attending it.

That Fiction, Bloody Fiction panel sounds so cool. Unfortunately, my teen son and I will be at the <i>Comic Books: Indie and Beyond</i> panel at noon. :( Perhaps Christine, who'll still be there come Sunday, can make that. The Farnsworth novel sounds good. Maybe I can catch up to him if he's signing at one of the books booths. Do you know his FoB plans?

I'm reading the first one now called JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE. I'm liking it a lot, and really liking the way the author, A.E. Maxwell (a writing husband/wife team) use music analogies throughout the book. It doesn't rank as high as L.A. Requiem, but nothing does! ;) <br /><br />Can't wait to see you soon!Jen Forbusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-85508424812463270412010-04-20T07:23:02.000-07:002010-04-20T07:23:02.000-07:00Michael!
