Move over "Mists of Avalon", Camelot has a new heroine in residence: The House of Pendragon II: The Recruit Wins Best Great Lakes Regional Book in Reader Views 2007 Annual Literary Awards
(Noblesville, IN) The House of Pendragon II: The Recruit by Debra A. Kemp [978-1-59279-699-1, Amber Quill Press, 2007] was selected as the best Great Lakes Regional book of 2007 by Reader Views Annual Literary Awards. Reader Views Annual Literary Awards were established to honor writers who self-published or had their books published by a small press, university press, or independent book publisher.
The Reader Views Annual Literary Awards are granted in 20 fiction and 30 nonfiction categories, as well as 15 specialized, sponsored categories. The entries are judged by Reader Views reviewers, all avid readers with a wide range of experiences, considered experts in the respective fields.
Naturally Debra A. Kemp is "thrilled and honored to have been selected from the thousands of titles entered in the awards this year. Lin--the main character in The House of Pendragon series--gives new meaning to feminism in the realm of King Arthur and its vast body of literature. And creating her and breathing life into her within the pages of my fiction; well is cool. Through Lin, I can give voice to the marginalized of history--women and slaves. Lin is amazing!"
