Dark fantasy novel 'Bless the Skies' named
a 2017 EPIC eBook Awards Finalist
On March 9, the Electronic Publishing Industry Coalition (EPIC) named "Bless the Skies" by Julie Elise Landry a finalist in the 2017 EPIC eBook Awards Competition. The winners of the competition will be announced later this year.
"Bless the Skies" competed in the fantasy/paranormal category and survived two rounds of judging.
As a finalist, Landry's book is one of the top three fantasy/paranormal e-books entered into the contest.
EPIC judges include e-publishing industry professionals and members of the EPIC community. In the preliminary round, books are evaluated and scored based on the first three chapters alone. In the next round, judges read the entirety of the books and assign additional scores.
After three or four finalists are announced for each of the 17 genre categories, the final round of judging determines the winners. Only 10 self-published books were named finalists, and "Bless the Skies" is the only self-published finalist in its category.
EPIC presents winning authors with commemorative trophies.
Landry said, "I'm excited—terribly honored and excited. If I cross my fingers any tighter waiting to hear the final results, I'll cut off all circulation!"
A native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Landry self-published her debut novel in November 2015. She earned a Master of Arts in English from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and she works in communications.
"Bless the Skies" follows Laeli Tavens, a skilled thief and murderer who must rescue her little sister Elaina from a sadistic nobleman. Throughout the journey, Laeli clings to a well-crafted denial of her past, while Elaina copes with brutalities and tortures she cannot understand.
