So happy and honored to announce that Bass Reeves: Legendary Lawman of the Wild West has been selected as a 2024 Spur Award winner in the Best Western Juvenile Nonfiction Category! Since 1953, the Spur Awards have been regarded as one of the most prestigious accolades in literature.
A huge thank-you to the Western Writers of America, the Spur judges, and my illustrator, James Paul Skelley.
Congratulations to all the 2024 Spur Award Winners and Finalists!
