AWARD FOR: THE LEGACY OF THE CHOSEN ONE
Last November, Masomeh Fritz and Ray Brennan were interviewed on WITS Podcast regarding their non-fiction book, The Legacy of the Chosen One, which is the true story of a spirit transfer (walk-in). Ray and Masomeh entered their book in the Book Expo of America where more than 30,000 publishers, agents, writers, librarians, and book lovers attended the event held at the Javits Center in New York City between May 29 and 31. On June 8, 2009, the Book Expo of America awarded its Silver Prize for the Best New Release to Ray Brennan and Masomeh Fritz The Legacy of the Chosen One.
For a metaphysical book to win 2nd place was quite an accomplishment. It was up against hundreds of books by large publishers, which had a great amount of publicity and promotion behind them. The Legacy of the Chosen One was called, “Inspirational.”
Ray Brennan and Masomeh Fritz operate the Spiritual Science Center of the Mountains in Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania. You may purchase The Legacy of the Chosen One on Amazon.com.
