For the Love of Noir

If you’re hoping to attend this year’s NoirCon, but haven’t yet registered for that event, you’ll want to do so soon. Very soon, in fact, since the convention is set to take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from October 26 to 30. You will find links to programming and registration information here.

Taking part in the festivities will be Hard Case Crime editor-publisher Charles Ardai; authors such as Vicki Hendricks, Jason Starr, Leigh Redhead, Charlie Stella, and Wallace Stroby; and critics on the order of Sarah Weinman and Cullen Gallagher. Also on hand will be Australian blogger, author, and friend of The Rap Sheet Andrew Nette (Gunshine State), who explained recently that “I’ll be presenting on the morning of Friday, October 28, on the history of Australian pulp paperback publishing. I’m also reading at the Noir at the Bar as part of NoirCon, which will take place from 6:30 p.m. at the Pen & Pencil Club, 1522 Latimer Street, Philadelphia, hosted by the inevitable Philly crime fiction identity, Peter Rozovsky. I have wanted to read at a Noir at the Bar event for ages, so this is a wish I can now mark of the bucket list.”

Someday I hope, too, to make it to NoirCon. In the meantime, though, I can at least encourage others to partake of the fun.
