Sun City author Marty Feess received his third award for his 2019 book, “American Heroes.”
This book has won: Arizona Authors Association 2019 first place for non-fiction books; Story Monster 2019 Certificate of Excellence for educational reference works; and Skipping Stones Magazine 2020 Honor Award for multicultural children’s books.
Dr. Feess, PhD, of Sun City, is a retired history teacher. His “American Heroes” is a reference book for young readers, which highlights the contributions of all Americans. Dr. Feess has also written three other books: “Living Between Iraq and a Hard Place,” about his experiences in the Peace Corps in Jordan at a time when the Iraq War was raging; “Theodore Roosevelt’s Arizona Boys,” about the post-war experiences of the Arizona men who had served in the famous Rough Rider cavalry under Roosevelt during the Spanish-American War; and “A Baby Boomer’s Times, Travels, Thoughts, and Hopes,” a memoir.
