Boston Book Fest

Once again we proved that Boston is a book town! Thousands came out for the Boston Book Fest, to browse at booths from everyone in the city involved in books and their production.

I was at booths for both the Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime.
We passed out information on each organization and answered questions as to our purpose and mission. 

Our booth at Mystery Writers of America was set up by Mo Walsh, local chapter President.

With Don Kaplan, Mo, and Judy Copek

Hans Copek creates a poster every year with the covers of books produced by our members in the last year. Notice A Sharp Medicine on the right, my fifth Zack Taylor mystery.

Susan Oleksiw, Barbara Struna, and Edith Maxwell

With the titles done by SinC members in the last year

The new crew came in: 

 Ursula Wong, Amy Ray, and Frances McNamara

It was a lovely day, with sunshine and so much to see

And lots of our favorite people- authors and spouses.

Center is Sheila Connolly, who was at the booth with me. 

Many strange sights that day
