Western Writers of America awarded the 2016 Spur Awards to the winners Saturday night, June 25, at its annual convention in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I want to give a big shout out to all the winners. I am proud to be a member of WWA, and pleased to say that I know most of the winners personally. I was not able to attend this year’s convention, but I was with them all in spirit this past week while they surely enjoyed another great convention.

I want to offer special congratulations to fellow WWA member Lucia St. Clair Robson. She received the Owen Wister Award for Lifetime Contributions to Western Literature. http://westernwriters.org/2016/06/lucia-st-clair-robson-to-receive-2016-owen-wister-award/
Her books are masterful, and I recommend all of them to you. Check Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite book seller to find her works. Also, check out her fabulous website: http://www.luciastclairrobson.com/
If you have read my book Eagle Talons, The Iron Horse Chronicles–Book One, you will recall she wrote the following, wonderful blurb for my book’s cover:
“Engaging action and vivid detail make the far-ranging adventures of Robert Lee Murphy’s likeable young protagonist reminiscent of Mark Twain’s Huck Finn.” Lucia St. Clair Robson
Congratulations to Lucia and all the Spur Award winners for 2016.
