"The Oblate's Confession" has been named to the Best Indie Books of 2015 and the Best Indie Historical Novels of 2015 by Kirkus Reviews. "The Oblate's Confession" took silver in the "Best New Voice: Fiction" category of the Independent Book Publishers Association's annual Benjamin Franklin Awards competition. The novel also has received three other national awards--the National Indie Excellence Book Award in the "Religion: Fiction" category; in the Catholic Press Association's annual book awards competition, "The Oblate's Confession" took second place in the category "Catholic Novel" and third place in the category "First Time Author of a Book" ("The Oblate's Confession" was the only work of fiction to win in this category). William Peak spent ten years researching and writing "The Oblate's Confession," his debut novel. Peak received his baccalaureate degree from Washington & Lee University and his master's from the creative writing program at Hollins University. He works for the Talbot County Free Library on Maryland's Eastern Shore. He edits the library's newsletter, writes press releases, writes and designs promotional material, does public speaking for the library, leads book and poetry discussions, works both the Reference and Circulation Desks, and writes The Star Democrat's library column (archived at http://www.tcfl.org/peak.) Thanks to the column, Peak is regularly greeted on the streets of Easton: "Hey, library guy!" Peak's poetry and prose have been published in The Delmarva Review and the Tidewater Times. The Delmarva Review this year nominated one of his poems for a Pushcart Prize. Before moving to Talbot County in 1996, Peak worked as a writer for the National Association of Broadcasters in Washington, D. C. He has also worked freelance, writing exhibit scripts and label copy for museums in Washington and on the Eastern Shore. He is a member of the board of the Talbot County Arts Council. photo by Tom McCall
