But really, this:
the whole story of why I love this contest is here.
BUT, the really important thing is this:

Thanks for the heads up! Any recommendations for great writing conferences to attend with the grant money? For purposes of filling out the app, of course. Not getting ahead of myself or anything.
Malice itself of course.
Backspace for sure.
CrimeBake if you're in the northeast.
Rocky Mountain Gold if you're in the west.
This year, The Malice Domestic Convention will be hosting Laura Lippman, Aaron Elkins, Peter Robinson, Laurie R.King and Carolyn Hart--those are a fraction of the notable mystery writers who will be on hand. And the Malice Fans are the best--supportive, informed and informative. The grant, and the fabulous Janet,made it possible for me to return to the convention as a published writer--I WISH I had known about the convention years ago--it would have been a great help in so many ways. If you possibly can, go.
I'd add Killer Nashville to the conference list as well (this year my friends and I closed down the bar with Peter Straub and I had a delightful chat with Jeffery Deaver in that same bar).
My small short story backlist DQs me out of this one, but I am passing this one on to my friends.

Thanks for the recommends!
