by Barb, exciting to be at long last doing some book events this week
The New England Crime Bake is almost here. Since all the Wickeds are going to be able to attend, we are once again running a contest to take one of our readers with along with us, well, sort of.

Last year we took Dru Ann Love along with us on a stick. This year’s Guest of Honor is NYT Bestseller Elizabeth George, the creator of the Inspector Lynley novels. If you would like to have the opportunity to have as much fun as Dru did last year, then this is the contest for you! Here’s how it works:
Just leave a comment on any of the blog posts scheduled between today and Friday, October 30 to be entered into the drawing. If you are chosen as the winner all we’ll need from you is your photo in jpeg format and a list of five authors attending this year’s Malice Domestic Conference whose autograph you would like us to ask for on your behalf.
We’ll announce the winner on Saturday, October 31st. Best of luck to you all!

Planning to be with you in person next year, but would be happy to stick with you anytime!
sure, I’d love to “attend” with your help.
Loved being there last year in person (especially when I was adopted by all of you). Sad I can’t be there this year, but would love to know I had a second chance to hang with the gang and probably be in even more places than I was last year. Debra
I’d love to Stick with the Wickeds!
What a clever idea!
I’m SO looking forward to this! I actually have a costume for Saturday night, something I almost never do. See you all SOON!
Very soon! Can’t wait to see the costume.
Oh yes, please! I’d love to do a bit of virtual travel in such good company!
Wow, would that be a hoot to be there with all of you Wicked Ladies!!
I’d love to hang with the wickeds!!! Imagine all I could learn!!!
