I've been contacted by Dear Author and Smart Bitches and they've asked if Speak Its Name would like to help nominate some of the books for ther upcoming awards, namely the GBLT category. Rather proud to be asked, have to say.

Now, I know my favourite books of last year, but I've only read a fraction, and I've read NO lesbian, Bi and only one Trans - so PLEASE (please please) if you have a recommendation can you comment over HERE at Speak Its Name and I'll knock together a short list.

I'm assuming that they want Romance.

If it helps you, Lambda nominees are here

I am thrilled they contacted you! How great is that? I bow before you and hope to one day be able to say that on my LJ...

Have you read Jodi Payne's "For Better or Worse"? Lovely writing -- it's not historical, though, so I'm not sure it would be of interest to you.

I sent a suggestion but I'm not sure if it qualifies by date etc... :-/

Re: romance in general--ie, non-historical--have you told them about Elisa Rolle's Isn't It Romantic?

No, I'm not in general contact with DA or SB, which is why I was gobsmacked that they contacted me, but I'm quite sure they must know about Elisa's site.
