The Will Rogers Medallion Award program this past

The Will Rogers Medallion Award program this past weekend in Fort Worth was amazing! Starting with the Meet & Greet where I had a chance to make the acquaintance of so many gifted Western authors and publisher, not to mention visit with actor Barry Corbin, to the book signing event at Monkey & Dog Books, the educational panel on book marketing and sales, and the award ceremony on Saturday night. Singer and actor Shane Clouse entertained the group on Thursday night and at the award's show. He's brilliant! An Open Secret: Stories of the Most Notorious Bordellos in Deadwood won a silver medallion in the category of Western Nonfiction. Can't wait to celebrate the win with my sweet friends at Deadwood History, Inc.

Two Lives Intertwined in Times of Danger and Change

Lone Star Literary Life reviews the new book Tilghman: The Legendary Lawman and the Woman Who Inspired Him.

“This engrossing biography-within-a-biography offers well-written looks into the lives of a feared and respected Deputy U.S. Marshal and his wife, a poet and writer, plus a tragic 1924 event that tore them apart. Tilghman is a true story infused with Wild West and early 20th-century history, several pursuits of justice, details of a happy but challenging marriage, and a widow’s lengthy quest to honor her husband’s legacy.
Tilghman is rich with historical settings, cultural atmosphere, and real-life characters, seen against a backdrop of rapid change. In the book, the Wild West is fading out and being taken over by new technologies, new settlers, and new expansions of urban areas. But as Oklahoma transitions from a territory to a state, many veterans of the “old days” are not yet ready to let go of the “old ways” that shaped them.”
