The Bouchercon was named for Anthony Boucher, long-time reviewer of mystery novels for The New York Times Book Review. My wife, Judy, and I have been attending Bouchercons since 1980, and we've enjoyed them all. The one in Austin was perhaps our favorite because we won the Anthony Award for Best Short story.
