(Nope, don’t look at me. I didn’t enter this year. Moro’s Price came out last year, and I didn’t even know what the Rainbow Awards were at the time.)
But several fellow authors from Loose Id are on this year’s honorable mentions list, and may be finalists when the formal announcements are made tomorrow, October 1, 2013:
All of my LI compatriots deserve some bandwidth:
Kate McMurray – Show and Tell
Tara Lain – The Aloysius Tales 3, Cataclysmic Shift
L.A. Witt – From Out in the Cold
Lori Toland – Dangerous Submission
Lynn Lorenz – Bayou Loup
Belinda McBride – Arcada 2, Silver-Steel
Bren Christopher – Second Chance Sam
Anna Zabo – Close Quarter
What the heck are the Rainbow Awards? From Elisa’s own website, here’s the short-form answer: ‘Hosted and owned by blogger Elisa Rolle, the contest is open to all authors of work containing LGBT fictional characters and work chronicling the true stories of LGBT persons.’
The contest runs yearly, has been witness to some amazing authors, and is now partnered with The Rainbow Romance Writers (a special interest chapter of the Romance Writers of America).
