Registration is open for the Poisoned Pen Conference at the lovely Biltmore hotel in Arizona. As those of you who went last year know, this is a fun and relaxed weekend of events focused around books and the readers and writers who love them.

This year’s festivities include a History and Mystery Tea Party (featuring Laurie King, C.S. Harris, Jacqueline Winspear, Peter Lovesay, Patricia Wynn, and me), a plethora of panels and events, and the traditional late night readings pajama party.

To keep it small and intimate, registration is limited to 125 participants– first come, first served. You can find out all about it here.
