...I've recently returned from Fort Worth where my sixth novel, Looking for Lynne, won the silver medal in the Will Rogers Medallion Awards for Western Fiction. I was up against Craig Johnson's "Longmire" series and another finalist included a Western Writers of America Hall of Fame member so the competition was pretty tough.

Thanks, guys. My first novel was first runnerup for a Golden Spur Award from Western Writers of America quite some time ago and this is my first award since then. I don't enter contests much.
