Couldn't leave my name above, since I don't have an OpenID thing or a LiveJournal account... I'm Karenna Colcroft, and I'd like to vote for Two in Hand by Mary Winter. Thank you.

Done! Elisa

I'm not sure how to post an entry or suggest an entry; I don't have a live journal. I do, however, have two eBooks that have transgendered characters. They are Dangling and Billy Bong by Yeva Wiest.
Both are available at Lyrical Press.

I will insert them in the file and at the end of the post, next week you will be also in the poll. For this week if people wants to vote you, they need to leave a comment. Elisa

I'll be voting later once I make up my mind (wow, look at all the great books!!), but I just want to say THANK YOU for all the work you've done -- and are still doing -- compiling these nominations and lists! You're the best!
**hugs**

Take you time ;-) And it was a pleasure doing it. Elisa

Hi there,

Well, I don't exactly know how to post my faves so I'll post them here...I don't have a LiveJournal acct. *sorry*....Ok here goes...
Faith & Fidelity by Tere Michaels,The Long Way Home by Z.A. Maxfield, Grey’s Awakening by Cameron Dane, A Fostered Love by Cameron Dane, & Cut & Run by Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux

Hi, Elisa!

Add one vote for Love & Loyalty by Tere Michaels, thank you!

The rest I managed it on my own. And I suppose I'll cast my vote for Zero at The Bone under Mistery/Thriller. I don't catch exactly why is the book listed also here, although it's one of the more beautiful books I've ever read.

Ciao e grazie

Antonella

Yes, same as me. I added the book since I was asked to do that, but as I say in my post, I'm not sure why it was nominated under Contemporary, when it's a Mystery / Thriller. Elisa

Zero at the Bone by Jane Seville

Done! Elisa

Please add votes for -

A Red-Tainted Silence by Carolyn Grey
Caught Running by Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux

Hi. I would love to do so, I love ARTS by Carolyn Gray, but both that books than CR bu Urban & Roux were out before the eligibility period, September 2008-August 2009. Sorry, Elisa

Dang! Sorry, I didn't think they were that old.

I knew it well, since, as I said, A Red Tainted Silence was my first review ever! Elisa

Love & Loyalty by Tere Michaels

Done! Elisa

For some reason, I thought I had to submit each voe separately, so when I tried to add a vote for AKM Miles's "Love, Jamie", I couldn't.

Can that be added to the count, please? Pretty please, with sugar on top (that would be sugar on top of nekkid boys, of course. *hee*)?

~Tis

Done! Even without the nekkid boys ;-) Elisa

Done! Elisa

I enthusiastically submit my votes for:

NEG UB2 by Rick R. Reed
Through a Closet Door by Rick R. Reed

Done! Elisa

I want to cast a vote for "The Classic Story of Good and Evil" by Sarah Black in the Contemporary category.
Thanks!

Done! Elisa

I'm not sure if any of M. Chandler's stories have been included - I did have a quick look, but there are so many books listed, I may have missed them.

The "Shadow of the Templar" series by M. Chandler (free on line, and also published by LuLu)

Here's a link to the web-site:

http://mooncalf.org/sott/

ETA: Oh, I just realised the books have to be published in the last year. I'm not sure exactly if these qualify now ... I'll have to check the dates.

Does each story need to be nominated separately? If so, then here are the story titles:

Morning Star
Double Down
With a Bullet
High Fidelity

Another ETA: I just re-read your rules:

For the 2009 LGBTQ Rainbow Awards I will consider ebooks or print books released between September 2008 (included) and August 2009 (Included). I'm not against the idea to consider also re-releases (maybe a previous ebook released in print, or viceversa; or a reprint of the same book from a different publisher).

I think these will qualify, as the earlier ones have been re-reprinted.

A vote for "Zero at the Bone" in any and every category you put it in. Just terrific in every possible way.

This is a really great idea you had for this competition for both writers and readers. Thank you for all the work it obviously takes to pull it off.

Toni

Done! And thank you! Elisa

Edited 2009-10-05 08:15 (UTC)

You will know at the end of this week ;-) Elisa

Done! Elisa
