Many of the authors that came to the festival sent us comments on facebook, twitter or via regular emails to tell us what they thought of their experience:
Jacques and Guy -
Courtesy of the city airport here (WiFi) a brief note to thank you for your invitation and for your kind attentions. Head still spinning at the courtesy, organization, enthusiasm and open-handedness. What a terrific couple of days here, and what a wonderful event – but what would it be without the people here at the festival, the centre and its volunteers and ‘minders.’ I DO hope this is the start of many.
Quebec is always warm – that is our motto here from now on.

Hi Guy,
You must be absolutely exhausted. But I also hope you’re very proud of what you’ve created! The first QuebeCrime! If hope the rest of the weekend was even half as successful as friday night. What a line-up for the weekend! And next year will be even better.

Just got home a bit ago and wanted to send along my thanks for a great event and weekend in a great city.
Definitely going to try and get back there with my family sometime soon and to visit your store.
All best wishes,
Craig (McDonald)
Thanks so much for making Lynne and me feel so welcome in your beautiful city. I hope we will be able to return.
In jail at Quebec City’s Morrin Centre with Daniel Woodrell. I look a lot happier about this than he does! twitpic.com/78f3mh

Bonjour, Guy, Jacques and Simon.
I just wanted to thank and congratulate you again on putting together such a wonderful festival. Well done! There was something about the combination of panelists – friendly, witty and interesting people – that made the whole thing greater than the sum of its parts. My fellow writers have inspired me to get down to some serious writing after my extended holiday from all forms of work! The Morrin Centre (Lit and Hiss, love the nickname) is a wonderful venue for such an event, and the readings and panel discussions were great. I really enjoyed it. You gentlemen and the other volunteers were excellent hosts. And I loved the hotel too.
Thanks for inviting me!

Being locked in a jail cell with @ hilarydavidson is by no means the worst thing that has ever happened to me…
Good morning, Guy. Just a short note to thank you for the invitation to Quebec City, and the hospitality. I thought it was a great start to what should become a tradition.
Could you also pass along the same sentiments to Jacques — and possibly send me his email address as well. My very warmest regards,
Ian. (Ian Hamilton)

Word on the street
Every great detective knows to pay attention to what is being said in the streets. Here are a few comments about the QuébeCrime Festival circulating on the web.
Tout bon détective reconnait l’importance d’écouter ce qui se dit dans les rues. Voici quelques commentaires sur le Festival QuébeCrime qui circulent présentment sur le web.
”Dubois and Filippi were inspired to start the event out of a mutual love of crime fiction. They see QuebeCrime as a departure from other Canadian crime festivals, which mainly hold workshops for amateur writers. “Ours focused on meeting authors, and talking about their books and what’s going on in the market,” says Dubois.”
Check out the interview with Guy Dubois.
” in addition to appearances by a range of top drawer mystery and thriller authors, the organisers have announced a special new attraction entitled CSI: Wrong Watson! Chemistry for Justice. … “The activities are as close as you can get to the real thing and you start by examining a crime scene and then move on to the lab to solve the mystery.” It sounds completely Grissom-tastic, but wait til you see the list of authors who will be taking part in panel discussions, talking about their work and signing editions. ”
