Legend Keepers receives awards

It’s been 5 months since my debut novel, Legend Keepers: The Chosen One, was released. As a writer who had never published fiction before, I didn’t know how it would be received. My publisher and I entered the book in several regional and national award competitions. Blowing my socks off, I learned this week that Feathered Quill Book Awards honored Legend Keepers with silver medals in both competition categories in which it was entered: Young Readers and Animal Stories for Children and Young Adults. Hopefully, this recognition will get the book into the hands of more readers. That, of course, is how its environmental message is spread as Buddy and the other characters take you to the high peaks of western North America. So far so good!
