Subject: Time to vote for the Hughies!

HERE THEY ARE - the finalists for the 2011 RBL Romantica Hughie Awards! In each category, you will find the books/authors/characters which received the most nominations. They are listed in alphabetical order by the authors' last names - NOT by the number of nominations received.



Many of you have received an official ballot via email; if you have not, just click on my name above and request one from me. You may also vote directly from the board - just copy and paste this post on a blank email.



To vote: ERASE ALL NOMINEES EXCEPT THE ONE YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR IN EACH CATEGORY! This is important, because any category with more than one entry left in it will NOT be counted! You do NOT have to vote in every category!



2011 RBL Hughie Awards Finalists




DIVA OF ROMANCE!  - This was a TIE. We are hoping you can help us break the tie. We are leaving this category OPEN for the voting but unlike the nominations you may only choose one author. Remember the rules; To qualify for the DIVA OF ROMANCE! award, an author should be recognized as a leader in the genre, and must have an impressive career of at least 10 years with at least 10 books published. The previous winners in this category, Nora Roberts, Karen Marie Moning, Liz Carlyle and Lisa Kleypas, may not be considered.

Notes:

1) It was quite difficult to decide where to place some of the paranormals this year, especially because they contained elements of different categories within the same book - a group of ReBeLs worked on this for a couple days. However, no matter which category you nominated any book in, I counted it toward its final placement/category.



2) The deadline for returning your votes to me is next Sunday, February 12th, at 6:00 p.m. east coast time.





LET THE FUN BEGIN!
