ALOHA, BIG ISLAND LCC

The skies were overcast, the hotel was set in a foreboding lava landscape, and there was a small earthquake accompanied by a tsunami warning. Perfect conditions for a mystery convention!

Left Coast Crime, Big Island, was one of the longest cons and least attended. 350 people participated and only three tracks were offered. The result was packed rooms, high interest in every panel, and many books sold. Even when the sun finally came out, people chose to stay inside to hear every last… Continue

The World Outside the Window

19 talented authors looked through a window and wrote in their individual genre. 19 stories take readers on a roller coaster ride of emotion as each illustrates how one's viewpoint filters the scene. D. K. Christi has the third story, "Rose's Question," about a young girl's questions leading to more about life than intended.

Two-Fer! Free Online Conference and Sample Media Release

Usually I adjust media releases for blogs so that they look more like articles or personal letters and that's really what they were intended for. Many bloggers and newsletter and Web editors just print them as-is--either because they don't know they can--even should--change them or because it is more work to do so. The other thing about media releases is that people often forget they can slant (should!) them toward current events. Thus, this is a two-for-one blog post for InkedIn-ers. (-: Hope… Continue
