Bouchercon 2020 - A.B.Patterson will be taking his Aussie hard-boiled noir to the main event!

Ever since I published my first crime novel back in 2015, I have been looking at the online publicity each year for Bouchercon in the US, and wishing like hell I was going to it.  Bouchercon is the leading get together for the crime mystery genre, and its website says thus:
The World Mystery Convention is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization which holds an annual convention in honor of Anthony Boucher, the distinguished mystery fiction critic, editor and author.
Well, yesterday I made the decision, took the plunge, and registered for Bouchercon 2020.
​In July last year I enjoyed a tremendous author trip to California, I loved the US, and I loved the amazing collegiate feel the crime writing community has over there.  You are a great bunch, guys, and thank you so much for welcoming me in.
So, come October, I'll be heading back.  Firstly for Bouchercon in Sacramento, but also hoping to be able to join in some crime author evenings in LA again.
​And, of course, I'll be making a whole host of new author friends at the conference.
Roll on October!
Cheers,
ABP
