Kilpack's Crown Prince Breaks Out at Outstanding Creator Awards

WEST JORDAN, Utah - July 15, 2025 - PRLog -- Crown Prince: Book One of New Blood by award-winning author W.D. Kilpack III swept the most recent Outstanding Creator Awards (OCA), receiving the Ultimate Championship Trophy, Super Championship: Fiction, Best Writing: Fiction, Best Book in Fantasy, Romance, Action/Adventure and Myths & Legends.

OCA Founder Steven Seril said, "A newcomer to our contest, W.D. Kilpack III, really broke out, topping the charts in many categories. Congratulations on a huge success!"

OCA breaks its awards into four sections: Ultimate Champions (a single championship-belt winner, and trophy winners), Super Champions (medals in Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Children's Books), Category Winners (for books in categories like Fantasy, Romance, Science Fiction, etc.) and Special Award Winners (such as Best Writing, Best Character, Most Beautiful Character, etc.).

Although Crown Prince did not win the belt, in addition to awards already noted, it received special awards for Best Writing: Fiction, Best World-Building, Best Character for Natharr and honorable mention in that category for both Darshelle and Nathan, Most Beautiful Character for Darshelle, Best Couple for Natharr and Darshelle, and Coolest Character for Natharr. It received honorable mention for Best Supporting Character for both Ellis the Elder and King Valane, and for Best Villain for Brandt the Usurper.

Kilpack said, "The results from OCA were mind-blowing. The 'review' was more of an analysis. I still have parts of it pop up into my head when I'm sitting around and have to give it another read. Like the name of the contest, it was outstanding."

Excerpt from the OCA Review/Analysis (https://tinyurl.com/yfc9trv4)

• "The world in [Crown Prince] ... not only features one history and one culture, there are numerous histories and numerous cultures shared by a diverse and interesting cast of characters. Each region and group introduces unique traditions, beliefs, and conflicts that intertwine seamlessly, creating a rich tapestry of perspectives ... making the world feel ... as though it exists far beyond the pages of the book."
