BOOK FESTIVALS AND CONVENTIONS 2022
It seems like its been forever since a book festival has been held in person! Many have gone virtual which to me is just not the same as being able to wander the isles of book vendors, touch and feel all the new releases, getting almost high from the smell of fresh ink on a page. 2022 will see the return of many festivals - here is a list of some anticipated festivals and conventions.
1. Sleuthfest: July 7-10, 2022 - Held in South Florida this is an annual conference for writers and fans of mysteries, thrillers, & crime fiction. The full schedule has yet to be released but the Guest of Honor and Featured speaker is Jeffrey Deaver. For a full list of speakers click here
