WOODBRIDGE, N.J. - May 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Author Kelli A. Wilkins has won a Gold IPPY Award for her historical romance, THE VIKING’S WITCH. The 2013 Independent Publishers Book Award announcements were made last week, and Kelli is one of three Medallion Press authors who won awards.  THE VIKING’S WITCH was chosen as Best Romance E-book.

“I’m thrilled to have won Gold in the romance category,” says Kelli. “It’s an honor to receive an award for my writing. THE VIKING’S WITCH is my first romance published with Medallion Press. This full-length historical romance is set in Celtic Scotland. The story centers around a village girl named Odaria who is accused of being a witch. When she conjures up a ship of Norsemen to save her, she falls in love with their leader, Rothgar.”

Kelli writes romances in nearly every genre: contemporary, paranormal, historical, gay, and fantasy. “Writing in different genres lets me explore unique characters, settings, and storylines. When I sit down to write a new romance, I never know where my ideas will take me.”
