Raleigh, NC -- (SBWire) -- 08/29/2014 --Tantric Coconuts by New York Times bestselling author Greg Kincaid is a finalist in the Visionary & Metaphysical Fiction category. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets Life of Pi in this quirky spiritual journey across the wild highways and byways of America.
The Universe Builders: Bernie and the Putty by Steve LeBel was also named a finalist in the Visionary & Metaphysical Fiction category. This story dives into a humorous fantasy world unlike anything you have imagined—a world of gods and goddesses who build universes for a living. It’s a fascinating tale of good vs. evil and a young hero on a journey of self-discovery.
Compass by Jennifer Gibson is a finalist in the Young Adult category. The book follows the life of a girl who is hearing impaired. Life for Jessie is a juggling act, learning to be happy and whole in a world of persistent antagonists and obstacles impeding her path towards a “normal life.”
