Actually, PERMA RED won TWO Spur Awards from the WWA, one for
Best Novel of the West (a category limited to novels of more
than 90,000 words; novels with a lower word number may
compete in the "Best Western Novel" category), and Best First
Western Novel.
According to WWA rules, a single work can compete in as many
categories as it's eligible for, but PERMA RED is one of the
few (perhaps the only; but I'd have to check to be sure)
novel that has actually won in two separate categories.
