Tree of Liberty (Bull Moose Book 2), the political thriller by award-winning author Michael Fedor, has received a Runner-Up Award Distinction for General Fiction at the 2026 Hollywood Book Festival. It is the second title in the Bull Moose series to be recognized by the festival.

"I am humbled and honored by the recognition of my literary work by this longstanding literary competition," Fedor said. "I am particularly excited about the prospect of my fiction becoming the basis for film, television, or streaming, so this award has special significance for me. To win this award for a second time shows real energy for my work one day reaching screens."

About the Hollywood Book Festival

Operating since 1999, the Hollywood Book Festival recognizes works based on the storytelling ability of the author and the potential of the work to be translated into other forms of media — a screen-adaptation focus that sets it apart from most literary competitions.

A Second Honor for the Bull Moose Series

What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose (Bull Moose Book 1) received a Table of Honor Honorable Mention in General Fiction from the Hollywood Book Festival in 2024. Back-to-back recognition across two books signals sustained adaptation potential for the series as a whole.
