I saw a thread a week or so ago about the type of books our members like to read, and I hope some of you like Tony Hillerman.
Our daughter won the Hillerman Prize last year for the best unpublished mystery set in the west. The book will be released on October 25 of this year. The title is ”The Territory”. She made me a quilt for Christmas a few years ago, and I will always treasure it. Phyllis |
How exciting!
|
woo hoo! Now that is a thrill. Congrats to both of you!
|
I just pre-ordered my kindle edition of 'The Territory'.
|
Wonderful!! How great for her. I do read Tony Hillerman so I'll be watching for her book!
|
That is wonderful!
|
Congratulations to your daughter!
My cousin's wife writes fantasy. |
Oh how wonderful! Congratulations to your daughter, and to her proud mama!
|
How marvelous for a young writer to get such a running start on her career!!
I've loved Tony Hillerman's books for many years. We used to buy them for our Army SIL when he was overseas, and couldn't help reading them before sending them off. Got hooked on them, they are marvelous. I spent 3 or so years on the res in Yuma, and learned how close to reality this writer is. Lots of them just repeat a lot of old tales that have no reality in them. |
Congratulations to you daughter!!
|
Congratulations
|

i am still new, but my mom is such a fan of tony hillerman, i also like the novels, mom is 94 and blind but tries to get them from the school of the deaf and blind, in florida, (they are not always helpful, but, maybe overworked, i am also fortunate that she still remembers all, and mostly me when i was bad, lol, i am an only child, so guess who gets picked on
iam so happy for you and your child, much talent comes from the parent jan in palatka |
OMG!! You should be VERY proud!! Thanks for sharing.
|
Bragging rights well deserved
|
You should be proud :) Congrats to her and you.

Thanks for all the nice replies. I have found that the 'needle arts' folks are generally the nicest people to know.
|
I LOVE all of the Tony Hillerman books. The way he painted pictures with his words was phenomenal. I learned so much about Indian lore from his works. Most of all, the mysteries that intertwine both are so enjoyable. I will be looking forward to reading your daughters work. It is no small honor to win a Hillerman award. You should be VERY, VERY proud. Please extend my congratulations to your very talented daughter. Oh, and take a bow yourself for instilling the love of writing/storytelling in her.
|
You should be proud.
|
Congratulations. Hillerman set the bar high.
|
Great news!
