Award-Winning Indie Novel - A Great Summer Read!

    CALGARY, AB, July 03, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Novel Ink Publishing is pleased to announce author Jeane Watier as the 2012 Independent Publisher Book Award gold medal winner for visionary fiction. A relatively new genre, Visionary Fiction has been defined as fiction in which the expansion of the human mind drives the plot.

"I'm thrilled to be included in this exciting, thought provoking, and potentially life-changing genre," says Watier, who has been writing visionary fiction for 6 years and has published a trilogy as well. "I'm proud to stand with others on the leading edge of thought, because thought is powerful; it is the stuff that creates worlds."

A Brief Moment in Time delivers all that a reader might expect from this type of fiction. An elusive romance, shifting realities, and paranormal twists entertain as subtle truths confirm the reader's deep inner knowing. "My readers expect a story that incorporates metaphysical concepts," Watier says. "They expect a romance novel, but it's fun surprising them with twisted plot lines and shifting realities."

Awards were presented at the 16th annual Independent Book Award ceremony on June 4th, 2012 in New York. The "IPPY" Awards, launched in 1996, were designed to bring increased recognition to the deserving but often unsung titles published by independent authors and publishers. Established as the first awards program open exclusively to independents, over 2,500 "IPPYs" have been awarded to authors and publishers around the world. It is now the world's Largest Book Awards Contest.

Praise for A Brief Moment in Time: "I've just finished reading your latest masterpiece and am speechless. I'm not sure if it is the similar experience I had emerging from a coma, but this book touched me. I resonate with it so much!" - Cristy Lynn Hayden, author of Love and Accept if All, A Journey from Near Death to Bliss.

"Finished your book (A Brief Moment in Time) last night. WOW! I loved it. Many golden nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout a brilliant storyline." - Lisa Francis, Bright Lights Marketing.
