[NEohioPAL] Largest Mystery Books Convention Coming to Cleveland in October - Registration Now Open

[Cynthia Orr]

The Bouchercon World Mystery Convention has been held annually in various
cities since 1970, but has never been hosted in the state of Ohio. Downtown
restaurants and clubs can expect to entertain over 1,500 mystery fans,
authors, and publishers with plenty of time to explore the city. The
conference will be held at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel on October 4 - 7,
2012.

The Bouchercon itself, and the Anthony Awards, which are announced at the
conference, are named in honor of the renowned author, editor and mystery
devotee, Anthony Boucher (rhymes with voucher). The theme of the 2012
conference will be "Crime Fiction Rocks," with the opening ceremonies to be
held at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Guests of honor for 2012 include authors Elizabeth George, Robin Cook, John
Connolly, and Cleveland's own Les Roberts. Mary Higgins Clark will be
recognized with an award for lifetime achievement. Scores of other authors
will be in attendance as well.

This conference is open to all fans of mystery novels. Details and
registration information can be found at bouchercon2012.com .

The chair of the conference is Cleveland area librarian, Marjory Mogg.
