Prolific Kansas writer Max McCoy has won the Spur Award for best original mass-market paperback novel from the Western Writers of America.

He will receive the award in June for his novel, “Hellfire Canyon,” at the WWA Conference in Scottsdale, AZ.

As Max mentions… Winners of the Spur Awards in previous years include Larry McMurtry for Lonesome Dove, Michael Blake for Dances With Wolves, Glendon Swarthout for The Shootist, and Tony Hillerman for Skinwalker.

He’s in pretty good company.

Max’s latest novel, “I, Quantrill” launches on May 6. And, if you’re a writer yourself, Max always gives good information and advice at the Tallgrass Writing Workshop at ESU. It will be held June 28-29.

Max also teaches journalism at ESU.
