News from Nan Dibble of the Helpers' Network US for fans of Beauty

and the Beast...

Sue Krinard is a B&B fan (and well known fan artist, besides) who

took her fan writing pro with a romance book (evidently now a series)

about a dark, brooding (handsome, natch) werewolf. Apparently one of

her books has now been nominated for the top award in specularive

romance, per this item on the SciFiWire website. Congrats to Sue!!!
