- Magic Lost, Trouble Found, Lisa Shearin (Ace)
- One Jump Ahead, Mark Van Name (Baen)
Several debut novels that I announced made the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards list, and they are:
- Hero by Perry Moore (Hyperion)
- One For Sorrow by Christopher Barzak (Bantam)

Congrats to all the nominees; this must be a huge thrill for a debut novelist.

Hi Tia - turns out we mis-spelled Lisa Shearin's name in the announcement. Can you correct it above, please. Sorry for the inconvenience.
That's what I get for cutting and pasting! Thanks for pointing it out and I'll be more careful next time.
Yeah, Lisa Shearin!
Loved the books by Patrick Rothfuss and Lisa Shearin. I would choose Patrick Rothfuss, if I was forced to choose.
Brilliant for the readers. :)
I hope Lisa Shearin wins. :-) Of course, that's the only book on the list that I've read, so I might be a bit biased. ;-)
