Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 9, 2007 -- The internet crime fiction review web site, http://www.reviewingtheevidence.com has been nominated for an Anthony Award, to be presented at the upcoming gathering of hundreds of mystery writers, editors and fans, Bouchercon. The event will take place this year September 27 - 30 in Anchorage, Alaska.

The six-year-old site is a total cyber entity. Its editor, Sharon Wheeler, works from Cheltenham, England, where she is also teaches journalism at the University of Gloucestershire.

The Anthony Awards, named after famed mystery writer, editor and founder of the Mystery Writers of America, Anthony Boucher, are among the most prestigious in a genre that was once a quiet backwater of the literary world, but now regularly produces books that dominate the best seller lists.
