Foreword Reviews Announces IndieFab Book of the Year Awards
July 1, 2014—Last Friday, Foreword Reviews announced the winners of its annual IndieFab Book of the Year Awards for the best indie books of 2013 at the annual American Library Association (ALA) conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Representing hundreds of independent and university presses of all sizes, the winners were selected after months of editorial deliberation over more than 1,500 entries in 60 categories. This year’s list of winners includes Garrison Keillor, Barry Lopez, Harvard Business Review, Georgia Museum of Art, B&H Publishing, Rizzoli Publishing, SUNY Press, Loyola University Press, Chicago Review Press, Valentine D’Arcy Sheldon, and Wayne State University Press, among others. The winners exemplify the best work coming from today’s indie authors and publishers.
Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Honorable Mention awards, as well as Editor’s Choice Prizes for Fiction and Nonfiction, were determined by a panel of librarians and booksellers. The Last Stratiote was honored with the Bronze award in the category of Fantasy.
A dark urban fantasy that re-imagines A Tale of Two Cities on the modern international stage, The Last Stratiote depicts the age-old struggle between revenge and love in the heart of one tortured woman.
Author LeAnn Neal Reilly writes novels "about resilient women caught in magical, otherworldly circumstances" (Kirkus Reviews). She grew up in the Midwest, migrated east to Pittsburgh for graduate school, and then migrated even farther east to the Boston suburbs where she lives with her husband and three children.
