Kilpack's Sci-Fi Novella Pale Face Receives The BookFest Award
The BookFest announced the winners of the recent BookFest Awards competition at their semiannual virtual event on April 5, 2024. Receiving a BookFest Award in the Novella category was Utah author W.D. Kilpack III for his science-fiction novella, Pale Face.
Kilpack said, "Being selected to receive an award is always an honor. It's incredibly gratifying to have someone recognize for the hard work that went into creating Pale Face. It makes it feel that much more worthwhile."
Desireé Duffy, Founder of The BookFest, said, "The BookFest honors authors who create outstanding works of fiction and nonfiction. The BookFest's mission is rooted in the belief that literature has transformative power and, in a desire to support and celebrate those who create it. Now more than ever, it's essential to honor authors and creatives for their crucial role in shaping the stories that define our humanity. Books transport us to different worlds, offer new adventures, and allow us to reflect on our own lives while fostering empathy. By celebrating the accomplishments of authors, we elevate literature and, in turn, elevate ourselves."
Pale Face centers around Hector Whitehorse, who did not belong — not here, not anywhere. Born on a New Mexico reservation, but educated in the white-man’s school, Hector was part of two worlds, but at home in neither. It only got worse when his entrapment went from a feeling to a reality: trapped between Earth and someplace else. Hector’s close encounter nearly cost him his life. The repercussions could make him wish that he had not been so lucky.
