Murder Goes South 2011

Wow! What a great conference!

Every speaker was interesting. The intimate setting let participants get up close with the authors. The food was great. And the weather even cooperated.

If you weren't there, ask someone about the customs and border protection program. I learned beagles are cute, but sneaky.

Planning has already begun for next year. Make a mental note, because you won't want to miss another one.

Williams Rawlings, Jr. - Murder Goes South

WOW! Only four days until the best Mystery program in Georgia starts.

Like generations of his family before him, William Rawlings, Jr., was born in Sandersville, Georgia where he still lives on the family farm with his wife and two children.
