FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Romantic Times nominates 17 Dorchester authors for awards

Once again Dorchester Publishing is well represented in Romantic Times' annual awards roundup. Nominations for the Reviewers' Choice Awards are based on how memorable the book is to the reviewer, each of whom reads hundreds of titles a year. Career Achievement Awards are determined by the merit of an author's entire body of work—and, contrary to popular opinion, you do not have to be old or at the end of your career to receive one.

The Dorchester authors clearly dominate in several categories, including Contemporary New Reality in the Career Achievement section, and Best Medieval/Historical and Best Futuristic in the Reviewers' Choice nominees.

A full list of all the nominees can be found in the February issue of Romantic Times. Winners will be announced March 26th at the RT convention in New York City. Congratulations and best of luck to all!
