Every year, Foreword Reviews honours the best of indie publishing with the Foreword Indies Book Awards. The panel of judges wades through thousands of books in 55 different categories and whittles them down to a group of finalists.

The Porcupine’s Quill is pleased to have two finalists in the running year. Daniel Bryant’s collection of darkly comic short stories, Rerouted, is a finalist in the Adult Fiction – Humour category, while Leon Rooke’s touching and zany novel The House on Major Street is a finalist in the Adult Fiction – Fantasy category.

Join us in celebrating these authors for their wonderful books—and in crossing our fingers when the winners are announced on June 17!

If you find yourself with time on your hands, we highly recommend checking out these great books for yourself. They’re available now, in print and digital formats.

Cheers,
