Author-Reader Connections

One of the best things about Left Coast Crime is the chance to get to know your fellow readers and writers. But sometimes, during the excitement and flurry of activities, it’s not always easy to find time to meet your favorite writer. Author-Reader Connections provide an easy forum for readers and authors to enjoy some time together. These Author-Reader Connections are free, and in some cases may include some special benefits from the authors.

Registration for the 2020 Author-Reader Connections has closed. The links below will still work if you need to check the details for your Connection. Last minute changes to Connections will be posted on the Bulletin Board next to the 2020 Registration Table
