And Now, Your SBTB BWAHA Winners
by SB Sarah | April 20, 2006 | Thursday at 8:28 pm | 15 CommentsWe’ve tallied all the votes (and DAMN were there a lot of votes!) and we are happy to announce the winners of the First Annual Smart Bitches Trashy Books Bitchery Writing Award for Hellagood Authors!
I’d like to say, there were a LOT of close categories, so when you think to yourself, if you are not a winner this year, that it was an honor to be nominated, chances are you also almost kicked the ass of the winner - this voting was way tight, yo.
If you are a winner, please, contact me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with your name and postal address, so that I can mail you your prize, for use in writing your next novel: a fine, handcrafted, hot pink ostrich quill pen, made by the fine folks at Feather.com.au in Cairns, Australia. We Bitches go around the globe looking for appropriate prizes for our fine Bitchery authors.
And, of course, what SBTB contest would be complete without a button for your website announcing how utterly cool you are? Each category has a handmade-by-SB-Candy-and-her l33t-Photoshop-skillz graphic for use on your site - so right-click-and-download, por favor, and use to announce your fabulousness!
And without further ado, here are the results!

Hey, the one book I read and forgot to vote for won anyway! Yah Loretta Chase!
(Jaci’s is already in my TBR pile but I guess it’s time to check out the others. Such a prestigious prize doesn’t just go to anyone. . .)

Yay for the winners! Don’t worry Nicole - I have a lot more to be ashamed of. Not only have I not read any of the winners, I’ve yet to read a romance novel.
I am PLANNING to, really, I am. Usually I read fantasy and sci-fi, but a friend turned to this site, so I want to start reading romances, too.
Well, now I know which books to start with.

If my ass had to get kicked it’s some consolation that it was the fab CJ who kicked it. Congrats to all the winners!
