SEATTLE, July 17, 2013 /Standard Newswire/ -- Reader's Favorite®, one of the premier book review and award contest companies, has released its finalists list for the upcoming 2013 awards. WinePress author Clark Burbidge has been selected as one of the contenders in the Christian Fantasy and Sci-Fi category for his award-winning book, "Giants in the Land: The Way of Things."

If Burbidge's book is named a winner, the honor will increase the author's growing list of awards, including the Mom's Choice® gold seal, which he won in April. The Christian Fantasy and Sci-Fi category is a competitive and popular genre for Reader's Favorite®, and it is a great honor for an author to be selected as a finalist. Reader's Favorite® will announce the award winners on September 1st.

"Giants in the Land: The Way of Things" is the first in a trilogy that richly intertwines themes of connecting with God, what it means to become something more, and holding on to hope. Burbidge connects with readers of all ages through his rich storytelling. "The Prodigals," the much-anticipated sequel to the nominated book, is set to be released in November and continues the story of heroism and courage begun in "Giants."

Born and raised in the mountain valleys of the Rockies, Burbidge enjoys traveling to schools and organizations to motivate and inspire children. His message to "live with the heart of the giant" resonates with families living in today's challenging world. Burbidge earned an M.B.A. from the University of Southern California and a B.S. from the University of Utah.
