Just Don’t Call It the “Tony”

There’s nothing quite like having a literary prize named after you. Just ask Tony Hillerman, the 81-year-old author of the Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee mysteries. The Tony Hillerman Writers Conference and St. Martin’s Press have gotten together to sponsor the 2007 Hillerman Mystery Competition, the intent of which is to find the best “first mystery novel set in the Southwest [and] written by a previously unpublished mystery author. The winning novel will be published by Thomas Dunne Books,” according to Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind.
