I’m thrilled to share some exciting news – my novel A Soul Incarnate has been named the Fantasy Winner in the 2026 Independent Author Awards.
Receiving this recognition is both an honour and an incredibly rewarding moment. A Soul Incarnate was recognised among a talented field of independent authors, with the award acknowledging originality and contribution to storytelling within the fantasy genre.
Independent publishing is a journey built on creativity, persistence, and a genuine love of storytelling. To have A Soul Incarnate recognised in this way means a great deal to me, and I’m grateful to the judges and organisers for this acknowledgement.
