Silver Falchion Award™ Nominees for Newly Acquired Small Press Leap Books, LLC

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Aug. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- LEAP BOOKS, LLC, the well-loved boutique publishing company, recently acquired by Shannon Delany, Judith Graves, and Jennifer Murgia, has reason to celebrate.

With only a dozen books to the company's name so far, Leap is honored to have three of their titles listed as nominees for the coveted 2014 Silver Falchion Award™.

"This is exactly why we purchased Leap Books, LLC rather than starting fresh--Leap already has great talent in its ranks. Now we just keep building on that history," says Delany. "We are very proud of all of our authors."

The Killer Nashville event which holds the Silver Falchion Award™ annually makes clear, "The purpose of the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award™ is to honor the best books readily available to a North American audience in any format within the past year. The categories include both fiction and nonfiction."

LEAP BOOKS' Silver Falchion nominees include:

KILLER'S INSTINCT in the Young Adult category (Dawn Dalton, Judith Graves), and STORM WATCHER (Maria V. Snyder), and THE CASE OF THE INVISIBLE WITCH (Patrice Lyle) in the Children's category.

About the LEAP BOOKS Silver Falchion nominees:

Award-winning and bestselling author of TUNNEL VISION, Gary Braver says, “KILLER'S INSTINCT by Dawn Dalton and Judith Graves is a clever and fast-paced thriller that raises the bar for monster-hunting tales."

In bestselling author Maria V. Snyder's STORM WATCHER Luke Riley is lost. His mother’s recent death has set Luke and his family adrift. Even though his father, twin brothers, and their three bloodhounds are search-and-rescue volunteers, they have been unable to rescue themselves and become a family again. Luke's decision to go against his father's wishes may do much more than change the outcome of one summer--it may change all of their lives.

YA and MG author Patrice Lyle's nominated title THE CASE OF THE INVISIBLE WITCH features thirteen-year-old Tulip Bonnaire, Witch PI, who runs Spells & Spies out of her dorm room at Poison Ivy Charm School, a school for polite witches and warlocks. She has only 72 hours to figure out her latest case, or her classmate, Missy, will never be seen again. Literally.

The Silver Falchion Award™ will be chosen by the conference attendees and announced at the awards banquet.
