Off to Bouchercon

I'm off to Bouchercon tomorrow morning, leaving in 9 hours. I haven't preset any blog posts because

a) I would need too many; and

b) I'm rather hoping to blog while in the US, hotel internet connections willing.

There'll be a short delay before next post. Total travel time exceeds 24 hours, and then you have to allow time for my brain to re-congeal.

I've lost count of the number of times I've been to the US. I know it's more than 14. What'll be exciting this time is meeting the people, very different people from any previous trip: writers, fans, editors, and the odd agent.
