    That's brilliant, Pauline and Julia. Sweet news for SFR!

    My novella Charlie Runs Rings Around the Earth is a finalist in the SF category...and Sunset on Ramree (my WW2 crocodile attack thriller, based on true events) won a nomination for Historical Fiction. This is the bestest year ever.

    Congratulations, Robert!

    I've added yours to the list. Thanks for letting us know.

    Oh, the croc attack one sounds fascinating, even if it's not SFR. :)

    Thank you, Laurie! I should clarify, though, Charlie Runs Rings was nominated in SF, not SFR--so (thankfully) I'm not competing against Pauline's novel.

    Pauline, I'm part way through Girl Gone Nova and so far it's terrific. Best of luck to you in March!

    My mistake on Julias title. I thought it was CAPTURED WITH SIREN, but it's CAPTURED (title) with Siren (publisher). I've corrected it.

    And they've finally posted the finalists on the EPIC site (which is how I figured out my blunder).

    If I can get permission from one or more of the authors, I can post the Awards Badge on this site.

    (Just found another Brigader, Lynn Crain, with a novel nominated in Historic Erotic Romance so I've added it. Did I miss anyone else?)
