Can there be any more to add about Bouchercon? Well, the answer is yes there can!
Some of the sessions I attended were The Mean Streets of Indianopolis, 
featuring Indiana-based detectives, Heroes for Our Times, with a behind-the-scenes looks at those strong, silent-type characters that always save the day, and Love, Murder and Suspense, showcasing mysteries with romance in them–and local Cleveland author Casey Daniels as well. She only stayed through Friday because she had a “paranormal” event in Parma on Saturday. Her character Pepper Martin is a cemetery tour guide that sees ghosts.
My two favorite sessions both featured thriller authors.
David Morrell of Rambo fame and Lee Child (think Jack Reacher) both spoke of the history of the thriller. Lee Child, who is British, told the story of how, at age 11, he realized that his Greek history lesson about Thesues and the Minotaur and Dr. No by Ian Fleming were really the same story–A gratutious action scene at the beginning (Thesues sinks King Minos’s fleet of ships and, well, just think of every James Bond movie you’ve ever seen). Second, where James Bond always seduces an enemy woman to gain secret knowledge, Thesues wins the favor of Princess Ariadne and receives a ball of string that enables him to slay the Minotaur and get out of the labyrinth. Third, 
both Bond and Theuses win their challenges and go on their way leaving the woman behind. By the time Lee Child had finished his story, most of the audience was laughing their heads off — even though it was 9:30 a.m on Saturday morning!
The other thriller session I attended featured authors who write forensic scientist books, including Lisa Black who writes Theresa MacLean books set in Cleveland. Much to the delight of the audience, one author actually shared *REAL* crime scene photos that the authors then analyzed as their characters would have done.
