What better way to start the New Year than to have the 2016 awards won by Bear Claws, The Iron Horse Chronicles–Book Two recognized in the Winter 2017 SCBWI Bulletin. I know many of you do not read this fine publication that connects writers, illustrators, agents, and publishers of books for young readers, so I will copy the entry here.
This notice was included under Awards in the People section of the bulletin on page 30: “Robert Lee Murphy – middle grade historical novel – Bear Claws, the Iron Horse Chronicles–Book Two – Silver 2016 Will Rogers Medallion Award for Younger Readers; also First Place in Fiction 2016 – Wyoming State Historical Society.”
Thank you SCBWI for recognizing my book. Happy New Year to everybody!
Congratulations great work.
Fantastic!! It was such a good read. Now I’m waiting for Book Three! Loads of loves, Your sister, Suzy
