    Hello Les!
    I found a link to your website on the Magna cum Murder page. This will be my first time attending, so I'm trying to learn a little about it and about other writers I might meet. I was tickled to see your name, because It seems like we are already acquainted through your writing. And I've had a copy of "Hooked" on the shelf next to my desk for years. Looking forward to meeting you in person in a few weeks.

    Hi Carolyn,
    Nice t'meetcha! Please come up and introduce yourself while there. This is the most fan-friendly writer's conference I know of--you're going to love it I bet. Just make sure to attend as many panels as you can--they're always great. The writers who attend are without exception the nicest in the business and totally accessible.

    What do you write?

    Blue skies,
    Les

Les Edgerton
Hi! Welcome to my blog. To introduce myself, I'm a full-time writer with eighteen books in print and I teach creative writing on the university level, through private coaching of writers, and on various on-line venues. I write in a variety of forms: novels, short stories, nonfiction books, screenplays and the subjects I choose to write about are just as varied, including sports, literary fiction, thrillers, black comedy and the craft of writing. I'm married to Mary and we have a son, Mike. I have two daughters--Britney and Sienna--from a previous marriage. I immigrated to Ft. Wayne, IN from the U.S.A. and it's where I still live today. Doing my best to learn the language and adjust to the culture. I have a checkered past, having spent two-plus years incarcerated at Pendleton Reformatory back in the sixties for burglary. I'm all cleaned up now and you can invite me into your home and don't have to count the silverware when I leave. Graduated from Indiana University with a B.A. in General Studies (Honors of Distinction); obtained an MFA in Writing from Vermont College. Email: butchedgerton@comcast.net Twitter: HookedOnNoir
