	CVCO - Overbooked: A Resource for Readers

		He was engaged as after-dinner entertainment for the Bouchercon banquet on Minneapolis, and although most of his tricks, singularly unspectacular to start with, fizzled, he performed the amazing feat of making just about every guest at the well-attended banquet disappear.
		With Bouchercon coming up, this is a good chance to do publicly what we do privately every working day: thank the people who have made it possible for St. Martin's to be so widely known and praised as the publisher of mysteries.

		Theoretically, aspiring authors can ask professional writers tough questions about the business, put the information squeeze on toxicologists and law enforcement agents, buttonhole editors and agents in the bar (or considering the location, fall in love, marry and bear their children in the elevators) and pitch their way to bestsellerdom.
		In contrast, in the six weeks prior to Bouchercon 2001, ticketholders panicked by the events of Sept. 11 deluged major mystery bulletin boards and email lists with offers to sell their memberships.

	Bouchercon 2003 Las Vegas - Ali Karim's Personal Report for Shotsmag
		This is because throughout Bouchercon I felt like the steel ball in a pinball machine, as I bounced from people to people, talking, listening and drinking beer and coffee, surrounded by the sound of the metallic cogs of slot machines and keno callers.
		The Bouchercon Bar closed around midnight, so the ones with stamina re-grouped at The Splash Bar, down in the bowels of the casino, where our voices competed against the bangs and whizzes of the fruit machines.
		The problem I guess with Bouchercon is that there are so many interesting panels, of which many clash that you miss a great number of them.
