About Killer Nashville 2006
September 15-16, 2006
The idea for Killer
Nashville...just grew.
As of 2006 and covering a six-state region,
the
Southeast Mystery Writers of America (SEMWA) had no
unified central way of reaching fans of mystery, nor any event to
promote fellow authors of
the
Mystery Writers of America (MWA) at
large. During various discussions with members of SEMWA, MWA,
existing conference producers, booksellers, event planners, bankers,
and government officials—and a rather circuitous progression
highlighting various possibilities—the idea for Killer Nashville as an
annual event was born.
Through the tutorage of
Reed Coleman
(Executive VP /
Mystery
Writers of America), Margery Flax (Mystery
Writers of America office manager),
Kris Montee and Kelly Nichols
(the NY Times bestselling
P.J. Parrish writing team), Robbie Bryan of Barnes & Noble, and the support of the
SEMWA and
MWA
boards and membership, numerous volunteers, two bookstores, producer
Clay Stafford, and the resources and
staff of
American Blackguard, Killer Nashville 2006 has grown from an idea
to a reality in a surprisingly short two months. With this
much accomplished in such a short time, we can't wait to see what
the next few years hold.
We look forward to seeing you at
the premiere event of Killer Nashville 2006 and helping us celebrate
our inaugural year.
All YOU have to do is
register. |
