What writers think about...
Apr. 17th, 2008 07:47 pmwhen not writing. Or at least what I am thinking about currently while working on 3 other things. Namely, the importance of self-aggrandizement...er, promotion.
So Crave is up for the Lesbian Fiction Readers Choice Awards (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LesbianFictionReadersChoiceAwards/polls) for erotica. It is one of 2 books, the other being In Deep Waters edited by Karin Kallmaker and Radclyffe. I'm getting my butt kicked, not surprisingly since Kallmaker and Radclyffe are better known and more people will have read their book than mine. I just figure that maybe I can pick up a few more readers and it can't hurt anything except my ego. On the bright side though, my book has 5 votes so far and the poll doesn't close until the first week in May. I could still get 6, maybe 7. :-)
At any rate, if the whole award thing sounds like something you might want to check out (there are categories for Mystery, Romance, Adventure and misc. Antho too), you can sign up for the LesbianFictionReadersChoiceAwards group at Yahoo. The nominations are closed for this round but the polls are open.
