The Miracle Man Selected as a Finalist for the 2016 Selah Awards

HAYDEN, Idaho - May 6, 2016 - PRLog -- The Selah Awards are open industry wide and internationally to authors published by traditional and nontraditional publishing houses during the previous year. The awards will be given during the awards banquet held on Wednesday evening, May 25, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The 2015 Book of the Year award is chosen by the contest director from the top scores/first place recipients.

This year The Miracle Man (Heritage Beacon Fiction, an imprint of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas), by Buck Storm, is a finalist in the category of Fiction: Historical Romance.

Welcome to Paradise, a sleepy, backwater town in the mountains of Southeastern Arizona where police chief Luke Hollis is perfectly content to concentrate on nothing but issuing the occasional speeding ticket. Well that and working up the nerve to approach his dispatcher, Ruby Brooks, for a date.

When an unexplained healing occurs during a service at the Mount Moriah Pentecostal Church of God, Hollis finds his simple belief system challenged and his life changed forever. Throw in a struggling minister, a world-class grifter, and a stranger with an unbelievable story of love and redemption and the stage is set for The Miracle Man. By the time it's all over everyone involved will come face to face with a power that's greater and more wonderful than any of them could have ever imagined.

Praise for The Miracle Man
"There is a friendly ease to Buck's writing that immediately draws the reader into the story. The rhythm and colorful imagery that so richly inhabit his craft as a song lyricist make an effortless transition here to his broader vision as a novelist." ~ Randy Stonehill, International Recording Artist and Gospel Music Hall of Fame Member

Buck Storm grew up in Yuma, Arizona - a true son of the American Southwest. He's marked time as a commercial diver, fisherman, sailor, and musician. As a singer/songwriter and purveyor of tales, he's bounced around the planet with a guitar and a pocketful of stories and has made friends in venues across the country. Whether lyrics or prose, Buck writes about this mixed-up, out of control, beautiful cacophony we call humanity. About life as he sees it - or sometimes just how he'd like it to be. Buck and his wife, Michelle, have a happy love story, a hideout in North Idaho, and two wonderful children. The Miracle Man is his first novel.
