Peachtree City author Victoria Wilcox (“Southern Son: The Saga of Doc Holliday”) has been honored at a second Georgia Author of the Year ceremony for her historical novel trilogy based on the life of the legendary Georgia-born Western character Doc Holliday.
The first book, “Inheritance,” won a gold medal in 2014 for Best First Novel. The second book, “Gone West,” picked up a silver medal in the 2015 Literary Fiction category at the Georgia Writers Association Awards Banquet at Kennesaw State University.
The third book in the saga, “The Last Decision,” was released in May to outstanding reviews. All are published by Knox Robinson of London and New York.
Wilcox was founding director of the Holliday-Dorsey-Fife House Museum in Fayetteville, where she discovered the story that led to “Southern Son: The Saga of Doc Holliday.” She spent 18 years researching and writing about Doc Holliday, which took her from Griffin to the OK Corral in Tombstone, Ariz. and made her a nationally known expert. Wilcox is featured as the Doc Holliday historian on the Fox Network’s “Legends & Lies: The Real West,” a docudrama series produced by Bill O’Reilly.
This fall, Wilcox will tour here and across the West for “The Last Decision,” the final book in the “Southern Son” trilogy.
