Someone was googling one of my book titles the other day... Interesting... Anyway, I checked out the links one gets and found this link.
Apparently, whoever did the translating for this Spanish language website announcing this year's GH finalists, had a few problems with some of the categories... Novel with Strong Romantic Elements, appears to be "with paranormal elements". And I think the inspirational one is mislabeled as "for adults". Kind of implies the opposite, don't it?

That's hysterical! I wonder what you write in French. Probably farce.
Actually, I realize it was the YA one (not inspirational) that was translated as Mejor Manuscrito de Romance para Adultos
My Spanish isn't great... But doesnt that say, for Adults?
I think they translated the inspirational one, correctly.
And I hope I write farce in French! (Maybe i do in English, too, come to think of it.)
Nice to know we've crossed over into Paranormal--not as much of a stretch for me as it is for you.
Too funny...
Ha! Actually, my new almost finished WIP does have a paranormal element... but a pretty minor/light one. But that book that was in the GH? Not so much. LOL.
Now you're writing in Spanish? So talented you are.
Pues no se pero en ingles la categoria era esta en la que la incluyeron (que gano Marilyn Weigel) 2007 Golden Heart Winner for
Best Novel with Strong Romantic Elements Manuscript y Maureen McGowan estaba incluida en ella asi que quiza el error no es de la link que pone
Gosh, I wish my Spanish was good enough you understand your post, Anonymous.
Guess the translation errors go both ways...
Gosh I'm impressed... I wish I was multi-lingual lol!

Nieves! Thank you for stopping by my blog. And thank you so much for your kind words and for listing the Golden Heart nominees on your website. I was very surprised (and pleased) to find it there.
Your English is much better than my Spanish!
