We're well into planning now for the SheKilda Convention to be held in Melbourne on 7th to the 9th October this year.
Now we realise that we're a long away away, but we're well worth the visit (just ask Oprah <vbeg>), and we are looking to see if there are any authors (or visitors!) out there who would be interested in combining their annual holiday with a few days at a Convention Hotel with a heap of Sisters in Crime.
Our official participants list is restricted to female authors (that's part of the charter of the group), but brothers-in-law are extremely welcome and if there's enough interest then I promise the Programming Committee will be looking for opportunities for "mixed" panels... if you know what I mean.
We are working on getting a website into production which will have further information, but in the meantime if you've had a hankering to come face to face with large numbers of Australian mystery fans in the wild (aka a bar somewhere in deepest, darkest Carlton), please drop me a line here (add a comment / or go to http://www.austcrimefiction.org/contact and we can have a chat about staying in touch.
