Novel about Lucid Dreaming Wins Major Literary Award! by luckman Blog entry

Acclaimed nonfiction author receives major recognition in fiction from the 9th Annual 2015 National Indie Excellence® Awards!

The 9th Annual 2015 National Indie Excellence® Awards recognized Sol Luckman’s epic metaphysical novel, SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, as the winner in the category of New Age Fiction in this year’s competition.

This prestigious national award, based in Los Angeles, is open to all English language books in print from small, medium, university, independent and self-publishers.

The National Indie Excellence® Awards (www.indieexcellence.com) exist to help establish independent publishing as a strong and proud facet of the publishing industry. Recognizing authors that put their heart and soul into their work, the NIEA is proud to be a champion of self-publishers and small and independent presses that go the extra mile to produce books of excellence in every aspect. Awarded since 2007, the NIEA competition is judged by independent experts from all aspects of the indie book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters.

Winners are determined based on “overall excellence of presentation in addition to the writing.” SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING is a work of speculative and visionary fiction in the tradition of THE CELESTINE PROPHECY that chronicles one extraordinary boy’s awakening to the world-changing reality of his dreams.

In SNOOZE we follow Max Diver, aka “Snooze,” along the razor’s edge of a quest to rescue his astronaut father from a fate stranger than death in the exotic, perilous Otherworld of sleep. An insightful look at a plethora of paranormal subjects, from Bigfoot and lucid dreaming to time travel via the Bermuda Triangle, SNOOZE further proved its literary merit by receiving an Honorable Mention in the 2014 Beach Book Festival Prize competition in the general fiction category.

Readers’ Favorite, the fastest growing book review site on the Internet, gave SNOOZE 5 stars and had this to say: “Luckman’s dazzling abilities as a novelist abound with lyrical prose … If you enjoy colorful characters, a fast-paced plot and stories that tug at your heart, this novel in eighty-four chapters is anything but a yawn.”
