Sea Ranch author Lorraine Lipani receives national recognition from the 10th Annual National Indie ExcellenceŽ Awards!

Los Angeles, CA -- The 10th Annual National Indie ExcellenceŽ Awards recognized WILD SOLITUDE by Lorraine Lipani in the category of Poetry as a Finalist in this year's competition. This prestigious National award is open to all English language books in print from small, medium, university, self and independent publishers.

The National Indie Excellence Awards exists to help establish independent publishing as a strong and proud facet of the publishing industry. Recognizing authors that put their heart and soul into their work, the NIEA is proud to be a champion of self-publishers and small and independent presses that go the extra mile to produce books of excellence in every aspect. Established in 2007, the NIEA competition is judged by independent experts from all aspects of the indie book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters. Winners and finalists are determined based on 'overall excellence of presentation in addition to the writing.'

WILD SOLITUDE is a collection of poetry that reflects on Love’s ineffable presence in Nature, and in those moments a heart is awake to beauty. Strong imagery brings the reader to experience life on a small horse ranch near Taos, New Mexico. In the din of violence that consumes our world, here is an elegant voice for Love.

We are proud to announce the Winners & Finalists whose books truly embody the excellence that this award was created to celebrate, and we salute you all for your fine work, said NIEA Award sponsor, Ellen Reid, President & CEO.
