THE ANTHONY!

Laurie King|October 16, 2015|

BoucherCon is fabulous at any time, but when they call your name out for an Anthony, it becomes positively intoxicating. Or maybe stunning:

Laurie & Les, Anthony Award for Best Anthology

Laurie & Les, Anthony Award for Best Anthology

Of course, I can’t help feeling I cheated.  After all, Les and I just had to talk a bunch of first-rate writers into playing in the Sherlock Holmes sandbox and writing a story “inspired by the Holmes canon”.  Oh, and Les wrote a story for the collection.  Ah yes, and there was his little court case that went all the way up to the Supreme Court, so maybe he actually deserved the award.

Editing a collection: resting on the laurels of other peoples' work.

The 2015 Anthony, crafted by woodworker Michael L. Thompson.

    You two deserved this award simply because of the work involved and the quality of the book, but the Supreme Court case is the icing on the cake. Congratulations and revel on!

    The inclusion of Gahan Wilson intrigues…
