Wyrwood nominated for awards
2 Nominations for Cherokee Author of Indigenous Fantasy EpicKegedonce Press is thrilled to announce that Wyrwood: The Way of Thorn and Thunder--Book Two by Daniel Heath Justice has been nominated for two awards:
the 2006 Carl Brandon Society (CBS) Parallax Award (for an outstanding speculative fiction work by a self-identified writer of color); and
the CBS Kindred Award (for an outstanding speculative fiction work dealing with race, ethnicity, and culture). Comment: I haven't read Heath's Kynship books yet, but I have read Octavia Butler's Kindred. It may be the best "speculative fiction" on race ever. If Wyrwood is anywhere in the same ballpark as Kindred, it's a good book indeed.

Octavia Butler is one of my favorite writers. It's too bad that her work is receiving the accolades it deserves after her passing. Her work truly considers humanity/life beyond the color of skin and shape of bone.
