Dear Magna cum Murderers,
It was wonderful seeing so many of you at "Elementary, My Dear
Indy!" last October. Jim Huang and his masterful band of cohorts did
a monumentally fabulous job hosting the Indianapolis Bouchercon, and I
was delighted and proud to participate. But I have to tell you, I can't
wait to have you all back in Muncie this October for Magna cum Murder
XVI -- a year has most assuredly made this old heart grow fonder! Jama, Austin,
Nancy and I have missed you something terrible, and we look forward to
introducing you to our newest Magna Marvel, Diane Watters. You'll be hearing from
us again soon!
Magnafully yours,
Kathryn
