To date, four of her books have garnered Starred reviews from Publishers Weekly. She has been nominated as Historical Storyteller of the Year by RT Book Reviews, and all the books in her MacGregor and Children of the Mist series have received Top Picks from RT Book Reviews. Her work has also been honored as Amazons Best of the Year in Romance, and in 2008 she won the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence for Historical Romance.
I removed this because for the most part, most of this is already covered in the reception section. We don't really list nominations on every occasion as those don't contribute towards notability and an author can get a good dozen or more nominations that they won't win. It's sort of the nature of the beast, especially when you have an author that sells well. I'll try to find a source for this and add it, but it won't really do much as far as notability goes and is more of a fluff thing than anything else. As far as Amazon goes, I don't want to say that being a bestseller on Amazon is completely meaningless, but as far as Wikipedia goes it's not considered to be a big enough accomplishment to really warrant mention. Part of this is because it's relatively hard to prove from anything other than a primary source (author or publisher info, etc) and the more specific you go into the categories, the easier it is to claim that something sold the best for the year. Other than that, it also came across as fairly promotional in nature, sounding sort of like it was trying to puff up claims. I don't think that this was the intent per se, but I do think that it was too promotional to add- especially considering that much of it was redundant. On a side note, I did look to see if the Gayle Wilson Award is notable. I didn't really see anything that would show that it's anything other than a regional RWA award. I'll add it, but it's sort of the type of thing that would be more fluff than anything that would establish notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:27, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
