(I'm certainly very pleased and honored this morning to have my work recognized by Western Fictioneers. A big thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially Livia, without whom I probably wouldn't be in this business. Congratulations to all the other winners and finalists!)

Congratulations, James. I can't think of anybody more deserving of the Lifetime Achievement award, but I know you have a lot more books to write and a lot more to achieve.
The Guy of the Golden West!
Excellent. Congrats James!
Congratulations, James - and all the other winners too.
Congratulations James! Now that you have the Life Achievement Award, you can stop writing and spend all your time collecting pulps, vintage paperbacks, and first editions. Maybe you will attend Pulpfest, August 13-16!
It's only right that you receive this recognition. Congratulations, and thanks for the many fine books and stories. I love reading them.
OWLHOOT would welcome you back at any time, too.
I'm honored to stand among you and the other winners, James. Hope to see you in Lubbock or St. Louis.
