My first novel, The Sudan Curse, published by Strategic Book Publishing in New York in 2009 was a finalist in the 2012 National Indie Excellence Book Awards under the Faction category. The ‘Faction’ category (fiction based on fact) was introduced for the first time in 2012. My second novel, Kashmir on a Knife-Edge, published in 2010, was a finalist under the Regional Fiction category.
On May 29, 2012, the National Indie Excellence Book Awards were announced in California, USA. Indie Excellence is open to all English language books including those from small presses, mid-sized independent publishers, university presses, and self-published works. Works published in 2009, 2010 and 2011 were accepted for award consideration.
The National
Indie Excellence Awards were first established six years ago in 2006, with a
few categories, and are now a leading book competition for independent artists
and publishers. As the indie publishing industry mushroomed, the number of
categories also expanded. The NIEA celebrates overall excellence, including
design. The award announcements receive extensive media coverage in the United
States which partners the publicity campaigns of my publisher, Strategic Book
Publishing.
