Hello once again Gregg Hurwitz<\/a> fans!<\/span><\/span>\"You're<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

On July 23, 2011, Gregg continued his book tour after his visit to Comic-Con San Diego. Kenn and Gregg just missed each other during the convention melee. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I on the other hand was in Marin County California to interview famed author Gregg Hurwitz<\/a> at Book Passage, (input photo of Gregg alone here) a popular independent bookstore that\u2019s been around for years. (On a side note, that morning was the morning I heard about Amy Winehouse\u2019s death at age 27, tragic and such a waste.) That weekend was also the annual conference for mystery writers and readers<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When I arrived at the bookstore, I immediately knew who Gregg was just on instinct, and of course from his pictures, and also because a Book Passage <\/a>employee was discussing his schedule with him. I introduced myself to the lady, who in turn introduced me to Gregg. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Greg<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A panel was about to start, one that included Gregg, and several other mystery authors. The moderator was Sheldon Siegel, an accomplished mystery writer as well as a lawyer in San Francisco. Sheldon happened to recognize me right away, and we had a mini-reunion before the panel began. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first panel I sat in had authors Gregg Hurwitz, Robert Dugoni, D.P. Lyle, and George Fong, who is currently security for ESPN, as well as a former FBI agent. Together they discussed how one goes about researching for their mystery novel. You get as many contacts as you can, and maybe one of them can lead you to another expert on the subject you are researching, and so on, like a domino effect. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Later, during lunch break, I bought \u201cYou\u2019re Next,\u201d by Gregg Hurwitz<\/a>, \u201cMurder One,\u201d by Robert Dugoni, and of course, Sheldon\u2019s \u201cPerfect Alibi,\u201d the latest Mike Daley novel. I interviewed Gregg after lunch, in which he was very easy going, and just a nice guy in general. He also signed the book for me. Thank you Gregg! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
