BILLINGS, Mont. - s4story -- Shadows of Chivalry," written by Billings, MT resident, Rachel Miller, has been nominated for a 2021 Author Elite Award, an honor bestowed for literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry.

Rachel Miller's book is a top five finalist for an award in the General Fiction category. In this day of chaos and uncertainty, "Shadows of Chivalry" tells a powerful, contemporary story of the chivalry and courage our world needs.

"Four years ago we launched an experiment called the annual Author Elite Awards. In the process we've attracted many of the best authors in the world," said Kary Oberbrunner, founder of Igniting Souls Publishing Agency and the Author Elite Awards. "Our goal is to celebrate a force that creates life change in our society—books and the authors who write them. In our noisy world, books offer a unique appeal—the ability to lose ourselves in a story. Nothing else provides such transcendence."
