RT Reviewers Choice award
According to SF author Elizabeth Bear's blog (scroll down past "Progress notes"), Eyes of Crow has been nominated for a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers Choice award for Best Fantasy. It's a pretty big deal, as I recall from years past.Here are all the nominees in that category:
Dawn of Empire. Sam Barone
Sebastien, Anne Bishop
Armageddon's Children, Terry Brooks
Beguilement, Lois McMaster Bujold
His Majesty's Dragon, Naomi Novik
Eyes of Crow, Jeri Smith-Ready
Wolf Who Rules, Wen Spencer
Nice company, eh? I don't stand a chance of winning against the likes of these folks, but it's sweet to get the recognition. I haven't found confirmation of this on the RT website yet, and I'm not sure how one goes from being a nominee to a Big Fat Winnah*, but I'll let you know.

UPDATE: Here's the link for all the RT Reviewers Choice nominees.
*Worse, I don't know if Reviewers Choice should have an apostrophe before or after the 's' or none at all. I'd hate to get Bob the Angry Flower on my case.

The reviewers for the spec fiction categories are spec fic reviewers, not romance reviewers. So they're judging them by how good a fantasy/sf book they are. Last year they separated paranormal romances into their own review category, leaving straight sf/f in its own category just like straight mysteries and straight mainstream fiction have their own categories.
