Pencraft Award 2025

Just got word that Buckaloo has won a 2025 Pencraft Award for Literary Excellence, Runner-Up for the category Fiction - General.

If you haven't read if yet, you should give it a try.

It's very exciting to receive an award, and now Buckaloo has two awards! I owe this success to my reviewers and to the readers who loved the novel and gave it 5 stars. Thank you.
