Hyatt Regency Hotel
Bethesda, MD.

Panel: 8:45 a.m. Sunday, April 29th:
They Love Lucy: If Lucy Ricardo Were A Sleuth - The moderator will be Ruth M. McCarty.

This panel will address how some amateur sleuths and their sidekicks seem to run into trouble at every turn, sometimes the trouble's wry, sometimes it's slapstick, but it's always funny. Is this a function of the plots or the character or both? Does this trait help sleuthing or hinder it or both? What kind of zany situations have your characters gotten themselves into? Have you ever found you've written yourself into a corner that you didn't know how to rescue your sleuth, and what did you do?

The panelists will be Karen Cantwell, Jessie Chandler, Cindy Sample, and Nancy Glass West.
