Changing Planes Receives Top Honors In National Book Award Program

Here’s the official press release:

Changing Planes: a Metaphysical Fiction by author Laurie J. Brenner was named Finalist in the Fiction and Literature: New Age Fiction category by The National “Best Book 2009 Awards” October 18, 2009, and together with award finalists and winners from the nation’s top publishers and independent presses in the 2009 USA BEST BOOKS AWARDS.

Brenner was joined by thousands of contestants with books published by top publishing firms of Simon & Schuster, Penguin, McGraw-Hill, John Wiley & Sons, as well of hundreds of independent houses.

Changing Planes is a contemporary new age tale where you journey with Madison Reeves, a business executive, on a spiritual journey of the heart.  Madison, who avoids intimacy as if it were a disease, won’t admit to herself that it is her own heart that truly terrifies her: for buried there are painful secrets.

Escaping on a Bahamas vacation, Madison discovers that there is another force at work in her life, as odd things happen before she leaves the ground.  After landing in a terminal hung suspended between this world and the next, she is greeted by her long dead grandfather as she disembarks from the plane. It is here in this place between life and death that she must look within her own heart to unveil its secrets if she is to live free and face loved ones from a familiar past and an unfamiliar future.

Will she choose what her heart deeply knows is best?  Or will she turn and run again? Book your journey between worlds today and enjoy a near-cinematic passage that brings you face-to-face with a story your heart reads.
