Join authors Donna Andrews, Maya Corrigan, Jeffrey James Higgins, Paula B. Mays, and Cathy Wiley as they explore the impact of technology on the mystery genre (registration requested.)
Discover how authors balance realism and artistic license when incorporating technology, leverage digital forensics and cutting-edge techniques with storytelling, and incorporate these advancements into the modern protagonist's toolkit.
And for fun, the panel will reimagine how iconic authors like Edgar Allen Poe, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Carolyne Keene would adapt their characters to the digital age. Authors will have books available for purchase and signing.
