.... that they are going to the next Bouchercon! With the Anchorage edition coming to an end tomorrow we can finally look forward to Baltimore. We would have loved to have gone to the Alaska. However, THD is financial cash strapped, and we must marshal our funds in other arenas. It is with a bit of irony that THD was in Anchorage last year, in fact the conference that has occupied our time this week was at the very same convention center as this year's B'Con.
As for this year's B'con, Barry and Macavity awards have been handed out. A complete list of winners can be found here and here.
The short list for those to lazy to click the above links.

Macavity's
