Killer Nashville August 14-16 2009

Hey everyone,

I haven’t posted in six days. I have been so busy trying to get my manuscript complete before we go to Killer Nashville. What better blog then to discuss the conference. 

Website:  http://www.killernashville.com/

J.A. Jance is the guest speaker, she has written a slue of crime novels, including the J. P. Beaumont Series, Joanna Brady Series, Ali Reynolds, thrillers and some poetry.  It should be a great presentation.

Lucienne Diver / The Knight Agency and Jill Marr / Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency will be there for pitch sessions. I am so nervous to pitch my book! I have worked on my tag line and have a good description of the book read. I just hope I “sell” it. I am so proud of “True Sight” hopefully they will be intrigued enough to want to read more.

I really don’t have a clue what to expect, I have been reading on-line what and what not to do. You would be amazed at what some authors have done. Like, sliding your MS to the agent in the restroom, leaving it on their pillow!  I mean come on people that is just creepy.

The schedule will be hectic; there is two/four breakout sessions each hour. How will I choose?  I want to go to all of them. Most are themed with crime/thriller, like “Written in Blood: DNA, Blood Analysis, and Reading Blood Spatter “sounds very cool, I might have to check that one out. I am sure I will be exhausted by the end of the weekend, but happy.

I heard the place will be crawling with FBI and police, I better stay in line or I might be the next subject in a true crime novel.
