DABWAHA rides again

Like, wow

I was idly dropping by to see who would be in DABWAHA this year.  And, oh wow, Black Hawk is in there.

Let me repeat that.  Black Hawk is in DABWAHA.

Wow.



Now, you are probably muttering, "DABWHAT?"

Let me tell you about it. 

DABWAHA is a yearly contest put on by Dear Author and Smart Bitches where Romance and quasi-Romance books slug it out for world domination.
For information on the contest and how to play (vote) see here. 

Lookit   here   for the DABWAHA books. 
DABWAHA always has great books and if you haven't read all seven of the Historical Romances in contention, I am led to a 'Why Not?'

Anyhow, here's the list.
(Click on the author to go to author website.)

• One Night is Never Enough by Anne Mallory
• Unveiled by Courtney Milan
• Sea Change by Darlene Marshall
• Black Hawk by Joanna Bourne
• What I Did for a Duke by Julie Ann Long
• Silk is For Seduction by Loretta Chase
• The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton by Miranda Neville

I'm going to add some others that are not Historical Romances, but they are particularly cool.

• Heart of Steel  by Meljean Brook
• A Lot Like Love by Julie James
• The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley
• Fate’s Edge by Ilona Andrews

Now.  Here's a suggestion of how you can help promote works you admire.

In DABWAHA, you not only get to vote and participate and cheer your favorites on.   YOU  -- yes, you. (don't go looking over your shoulder) -- YOU get to nominate your favorites for the contest, one in each category.  Go  here   to add your favorite book that somehow got overlooked in the mad scramble.

I nominated:

Mercedes Lackey's Beauty and the Werewolf in SciFi  ISBN 0373803281
Grace Burrowes' The Virtuoso in Historical Romance  ISBN 1402245701
C.S. Harris' Where Shadows Dance in Crossover  ISBN 0451233956

because those are all three just excellent.
