Jean Schaumberg and I had lunch today with Valerie Plame Wilson, our keynote speaker for the Tony Hillerman Conference's Writer's Weekend, Nov. 12-13 in historic Santa Fe. We'd never had the honor of meeting before. Valerie is fascinating: smart, articulate and full of life. We talked about what would be good topics for her on Nov. 13. Perhaps First Amendment issues. Perhaps the movie being made of her experiences with the Bush administration. Perhaps her new incarnation as part of a team writing thrillers. We'll come up with something wonderful!
Valerie's talk will we one of the highlights at the dinner where the Tony Hillerman Prize for best first mystery is set to be awarded. Remember to submit your manuscrips by June 1. You can find the rules on this website. The winner gets a $10,000 advance from St. Martin's Press and publication. We're hoping the winner will be able to join St. Martin's editor Peter Joseph in Santa Fe for the award.
