My magical Moment (no pix, alas)... the panel on Roman and Greek mysteries, with three of my all-time faves, Lindsay Davis, John Maddox Roberts and Steven Saylor, all trading quips and

anecdotes with the moderator, who happend to be the editor who launched my career at St. Martin's Press.

This is why I love Bouchercon!

Hi Kaye,
I'm just packing to leave San Fran and I remembered you asking for best of moments.  Mine is arriving on Thursday to find an e-mail from my publisher that Publisher's Weekly had reviewed A BREWSKI FOR THE OLD MAN, my first PW review coinciding with the first time I got to speak at Bouchercon.  The last time I was at this conference was 2004 in Toronto - before I was published.
Stay well,
Phyllis Smallman

Hi Kaye:

My first "AHA moment" came Thursday morning.  I was sitting in the dining room at the tail end of the continental breakfast.  A woman was walking towards us and I thought I recognized her from her pictures.  I guess I was staring as she came over to our tavle,  I was right, it WAS Hank Phillippi Ryan, who is nicer in person than she seemed from her emails!

"I wish you were here Kaye!!!

I went for a walk around the neighborhood with Kathy Ryan, and we couldn't help take pix of everything. Laura Disilverio decided my outfit needed some sparkle for the St. Martin's party, so she took off her necklace and lent it to me for the evening. Mystery writers and mystery fans are the most generous people, aren't they? I'm standing in front of the Bay Bridge, and I don't think the weather gets any lovelier than this.

Other photo is the view from the hotel. Gorgeous."

Hi Kaye!!!

Wish you were in San Francisco! Here's a pic I took last night when

Andrew and I were on a sunset cruise with Jon and Ruth Jordan. 

Talk about a spectacular way to spend an evening. 

Gorgeous views and even better company....
