INSPIRATIONAL BOOKS FROM PEACE OF THE DREAMER WIN TOP AWARDS


Marina, CA – Sonya Haramis, M.Ed., won three awards in the 2008 National Indie Excellence Awards.  Her book of inspirational parables, “Gracious Gifts…Expressions of the Divine,” was an Award Winner in two categories: Religious Fiction and Short Story Fiction.  Her second book, “The Circle of Olympians,” a modern Greek myth, was an Award Finalist in Multicultural Fiction.  This is the third award for “The Circle of Olympians,” which was an Award Winner in the National Best Books 2007 for Mythology/Folklore, and an Award Finalist in Visionary Fiction.

“I am so grateful.  These awards provide validation and exposure for my work,” said Sonya, a spiritual storyteller.  She continuously strives to spread love, peace, hope, healing and magic in the world.  Sonya is currently shopping the film version of “The Circle of Olympians.”

Ellen Reid, owner of the NIEA, believes “it is essential for smaller publishers and authors to have a prestigious platform to receive well deserved recognition.”  An independent panel of experts from all aspects of the publishing industry – editing, marketing, publicity and design – judged the competition.  More information is available on www.indieexcellence.com.

“…Sonya Haramis will establish herself as one of the great spiritual storytellers of our time…” Liz Illgen for New Age Retailer.

“Gracious Gifts…Expressions of the Divine” was endorsed by Deepak Chopra, James Redfield, Dr. John Gray, Midwest Book Review, and others.  Of “The Circle of Olympians,” Odyssey Magazine said, “…the magic of personal transformation is available to all, if we would only hear the voice of truth within.”
