Disclaimer: Stories that are awarded with the Charani Award of Excellence are judged according to
content, concept, topic and the
incorporation of either Ethnic characters or Religious Diversity and
nothing more.  The awarding of this banner is purely subjective.  All banners are linked to the sites
that carry them.  I do not take responsibility for the stories, nor do I control what the author's write.  
So if you come across any story, which contains spelling, grammar errors or typos, or has material
that you object to, please notify the authors, not me.
I am proud to announce that the January 2003 recipient of the Charani Award of Excellence in
Fiction for Ethnic or Religious Diversity goes to Archangel for Desert Hawk.

Desert Hawk by Archangel is  a creative tale written by a new and upcoming bard.  Desert Hawk
introduces us to Dylan Hawk, a young woman who is part Native American.  The struggle and
complications of her family upbringing combined with her dual heritage are interwoven in an engaging
plot that is filled with depth and imagery.  Archangel has managed to incorporate the vast struggles
surrounding dual heritage while also delivering an entertaining work of fiction.  Because of this, it
fulfills the objective of the Charani Award of Excellence for the incorporation of ethnic diversity.

Please join me in congratulating Archangel for Desert Hawk.
