We're joined by the wonderful Holly West and second-time visitor C.W. Blackwell to talk about Bouchercon 2023, editing anthologies, blind submissions, and efforts to widen submission pools to as wide a group as possible. We also talk about the Bouchcon anthology Killin' Time In San Diego, hear a sample of C.W.'s story within it "Hard Rain on Beach Street," and get excited for a West Coast trip.
It's also our ~50th~ episode, so that's pretty cool.
Holly West (she/her) is the Anthony Award-nominated author of the Mistress of Fortune historical mystery series and the editor of Murder-A-Go-Go’s: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Music of the Go-Go’s, and the 2023 edition of the Bouchercon anthology Killin Time in San Diego. Her novella, The Money Block, about a pair of grifters who set up a cryptocurrency con, is out now from Down & Out Books. More at https://hollywest.com/https://hollywest.com/.
