Western
Fictioneers
recently announced the Finalists for the annual Peacemaker Awards (named for
Sam Colt’s famous revolver that some say won the West) for Western fiction
published in 2018.
I am tickled pink to say that Father unto Many Sons is among the candidates for Best Novel, and Rawhide Robinson Rides a Dromedary: The True Tale of a Wild West
Camel Caballero is on the list for Best Young Adult or Children’s Fiction. (This
book, you may recall, will also be recognized as a Finalist for the Western Writers of America Spur Award.)
The winners will be announced mid-June. But, if neither novel tops
the Western Fictioneer charts, it is still an honor to make the short list.
Sometimes you get lucky.
