There was a message on my phone when I got home last night
from Elaine Long, the Awards Chairman for the Western Writers
of America.
Her message was that "Blood for Oil," a chapter in my true
crime collection JUST THE FACTS, has been awarded the Golden
Spur in the "short non-fiction" category.
I called her today to confirm. No mistake. I really won.
Jeeze, I'm not even a member of WWA.
I don't get the actual trophy 'til the awards banquet in
June, but I'm allowed (as long as I observe seemly
moderation) to brag and boast 'til then.
A Dagger nomination and a Spur award. Talk about a very good
year!
