A WORD ABOUT THE
BOOKIES:
Each year, we get TONS of nominees, but only some make the
cut.
This is how we do it…
~ Any ballot that has
less than 15 individual noms gets cut.
~ Any ballot that has
the SAME author through the entire thing gets cut.
~Any identical
ballots get cut, especially if they are consecutive in a row.
~ Any categories that
don’t have enough noms get cut.
Nominations that were
counted were ones with two or more ballot noms for an author or book. Please
bear all of this in mind when the nominations go out.
Once the ballot is ready for voting, we’ll post the link on
both Facebook and the AAD blog.

Kudos on having Author Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter World nominated. That being said, I think that she is one of the MOST Accessible Authors along with her Official Website being one of the most EPIC & well maintained & up to date out there!
PAX,
Ash Parthenopaeus, DH Origins Family
Ash:
Readers nominated for each category. They didn't nominate her for Most accessible Author so shes not up for the award. I believe she has been nominated in the past for it though, along with the website.
And I believe shes WON in the past as well, but as she hasn't attended the event, she hasn't gotten an award.
Very excited to be nominated ... thank you :-)
NA Novel of the Year & NA Series of the Year! Whoa.
Thank you so much.
It's an honor to be a nominee. <3
I think that Dark Hunter & Sherrilyn Kenyon is the best, and her website verry useful.
Sherri, created a new world for fans with DH.
Very few that are nominated are authors that I read. Can't believe that Cherise Sinclair, Maya Banks, Dixie Lynn Dwyer and Leah Brooke are not even nominate.
smh*
Hi Gail,
Please remember that the nominations were the direct result of ballots by readers. If you do not see the authors you think should be here, its because either no one or not enough people nominated them. Nominations were open for ONE MONTH and we had over 345 ballots this year.
thanks!
I just learned of this nomination and I am so honored and excited. Thank you so much for reading and enjoying my book and for putting me in such great company.
Amanda Clay
PS- That comment totally needed more exclamation marks!!!!!!!
