The conference is June 11 and 12 at the Hilton in Pasadena, CA. Some of my "real world" law and order friends will be presenting as I organized most of the Forensics track.
On Saturday, June 11, I'll be introducing these great sessions:
Money Matters - Fraud & Scams with Detective Joseph Allard, Pasadena PD
Homicide 101 - with LAPD Detective Dennis Kilcoyne, Robbery/Homicide Division. Detective Kilcoyne has worked on many notable homicide cases including O.J. Simpson and Ennis Cosby. He headed the task force that nabbed the notorious "Grim Sleeper" serial killer.
On Sunday, June 12, I'll be "in conversation with" these accomplished women:
See You in Court - L.A. Superior Court Judge and former L.A. Deputy D.A. Karla Kerlin discusses being on both sides of the bench.
Women in Blue - What it's like to be a woman on the force. Margaret York, ret. LAPD Deputy Chief and Kathleen McChesney, PhD, first F.B.I. Executive Assistant Director.
Also on Sunday, I'm introducing this session:
Use of Force - Methodology, training, tactics and equipment with Sergeant Eduardo Calatayud, Pasadena PD
There will also be sessions on writing, marketing, and publishing your book. The conference is only held every two years. I think the programming this year is spectacular. Have you signed up?
Wow, Dianne, this is fantastic. You're so involved! Do you think the conference would be of value to writers who don't write about crime or mystery?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Petrea. It's been fun putting this together. For the non-crime writers, there are lots of sessions about writing, marketing, publishing, legal, etc. There are also two great keynote speakers: T. Jefferson Parker and S.J. Rozan. On Saturday, there's an agent's cocktail party with many literary agents to schmooze with. I think it would be useful for a non-crime writer. Plus it's local, so no hotel costs.
