First, about the name. Yes, it's Randall. So, what's with the 'Beth' that shows up on some older titles and on this author central page? Long story, but I was asked to feminize my name when my first novel, THE FOUR ARROWS FE-AS-KO, came out. That explains the 'Beth.' Never liked doing it and can't seem to ditch it. But, 'Beth' aside, here's the info on Randall Platt: Randall Platt writes fiction for adults and young adults and those who don't know which they are. Platt, a lifelong resident of the Upper Left Hand Corner, has been a full-time writer for thirty years which is certainly long enough to know better. Platt finds no shortage of fascinating characters and stories that spring from the beautiful Pacific Northwest which explains why nearly all Platt novels take place in Washington or Oregon. A film, Promise The Moon, has been made of one of Platt's humorous westerns (The Four Arrows Fe-As-Ko) Platt's novels have won several national accolades and six have been recently released as audio books. Hellie Jondoe, a historical young adult novel dealing with orphan trains and climaxing with the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918, was awarded the 2010 Willa (Cather) Literary Award and three other nationally recognized nods. Platt's latest novel, Liberty's Christmas, is set in Texas and takes young adult readers back to a time when 'nobody had nothing and everybody borrowed it,' the Great Depression. Several times a week Platt tucks away the words and heads for the nearest handball court or jogging trail. LIBERTY'S CHRISTMAS is getting some lovely nods! It has won the Willa Literary Award and the Will Rogers Medallion Book Award. It was also chosen as a finalist for the Reading the West Book Award from the Mountain and Plains Independent Booksellers and also from the PEN Center USA Literary Award AND the Honorable Mention for the Washington State Book Award! Thanks, readers, for falling in love with Liberty Justice Jones! Randall (no Beth) Platt is also in the process of converting out of print books into ebooks. A publisher may consider a book dead, but that doesn't mean it's out of life! So watch for announcements as these older titles take on a new life of their own!
