Reine Harrington won our Stick with Us contest and attended Malice Domestic on a stick.
Sheila Connolly is delighted Reine could make it to Malice!
Our handsome waiter with the resonant voice at the French bistro makes sweet with Reine.
Liz and Edith are so pleased she could join us.
As is Julie!
Reine joined us at dinner. From left counterclockwise: Barb, our long-time New England friend Pat Remick, Julie, the Detective’s Daughter Kim Gray, Liz, Sherry, Sheila, Jessie, and Edith.
And Reine helped us assemble the goodie bags for Malice-go-Round and Liz’s banquet table.
All that tired her out, so she grabbed a nap in the hotel, followed by a cup of coffee.
And boy, did she need it once we started introducing her around!
Reine meets Vicki Delaney, Victoria Abbott and Erika Chase.
Reine enjoys a ginger lemonade at lunch with the Wickeds. Is that Jessie Crockett studying the Malice panels?
Julia Spencer Fleming said that Reine came between her and Ross.
But they are still speaking.
Agatha nominee and former Guppie president Kaye George, with her Guppie boa, which Reine got to share.
Guest of Honor Kathy Lynn Emerson.
Reine attends another Malice panel with Connie Archer, Daryl Wood Gerber, Jessie, and Mary Ellen Hughes.
Here she is with Agatha-ward winning Leslie Budewitz.
And with Agatha-nominee and Malice Program Chair Barb Goffman.
We loved having Reine with us, and only wish that her service dog Kendall could have come along, too!
I had so much fun at Malice! These photos are great! You all were so much fun, and Julia was a good sport about Ross. I think I might divert Steve’s attention from that pic! And wasn’t that waiter adorable! I was very busy. Wasn’t I?
Oh oh… Kendall says he sees something furry with Barb Goffman. U..U He wanted to come along, and he’s jealous. I told him I think it was a boa, but he isn’t buying it. Poor pup.
I was very glad for the nap and coffee after. It’s tiring being a disembodied head on a stick. The Poirot moustache tickled a little, but the giggles made it worthwhile. All of your gorgeous smiles are going to tickle me for a long time. You are a fun group, and I am so pleased to have had a small part in your Malice adventure.
It’s 3:00 in the morning here, and I have to get to bed but I will check in later. I am so enjoying your pictures I want to say hello to everyone, but I am falling asleep. I will be back.

Glad Reine could join us at the banquet.
Thank you, Elaine N! xoxo
Sounds like a marvelous time. Reine, I’m glad you had so much fun!
I had a great time, Claire. Thank you! xoxo
What an enjoyable time we had introducing Reine to our Malice friends! Reine was so shy and quiet, we had to poke her with a stick a bit to get her to come along. I am relieved to hear she had a wonderful weekend as well.
<3 Thank you, gettingcozymyyeardiscoveringagathachristie! You were the best, most fan-stick-tas hosts ever! Never was a poke so much fun. <3
We had so much fun taking Reine with us to Malice!
Sherry… thank you. Can you guess how much fun I had! xoxoxo
What a great post! Reine, I hope you’ve managed to pick off all the boa feathers by now. I think I’ll have them for months.
Kaye, your boa was—and remains—a highlight of the event! xoxo
Reine–you were a wonderful Malice companion. You on a stick got to talk to more people than I did during those busy three days.

Such a treat to take you around with us. At one point I said, where’s Reine? Turned out you were taking a nap in somebody’s room, LOL. Or maybe that was when you went out for coffee…
Sounds like me, Edith! I just woke up from a nap—now drinking a cup of coffee as I settle into an afternoon to try and learn something about short story character development. I am so ignorant about this! <3
Sherry, I just saw this photo of Kendall!!! Thank you for posting!

Laura DiSilverio—so sorry I spelled your name wrong! xo
Gosh, it looks like she had more fun that way than attending. With no effort! 🙂
🙂
I’m jealous of all the fun you got to have Reine.
Well then, do try for it, Mark. I loved every minute!
