WELCOME TO THE 2024 GOLDEN PIGTAIL SMUT AWARDS

I’m your Sommelier of Smut for the evening, Alexa Sommers, and I’ll eventually [buy my books] be bringing you the results you’ve all been waiting for [buy my books].

I assume all the nominees are dressed accordingly in their fanciest sweatpants and anxiously awaiting the results. Free food and beverages can be found in your fridge. Help yourself to anything you would like. Please tip your hostess [buy my books].

This year’s Golden Pigtails received a metric shit tonne (Canadian Measurement) of nominations by some of the best erotic authors in the field. Votes were cast by over a lot of unique voters for a total of what am I, an accountant? across 19 Categories.

We also received thousands of mysterious votes left on the porch with bribes attached. Wait… Let’s pretend I didn’t say that.

I want to send a HEARTFELT THANK YOU to everyone who voted and to all the nominees for helping to make this event what it is. Without you, your stories, your votes and your enjoyment of the works these authors produce, we are nothing.

To this year’s winners, in order to streamline awards (and because I don’t have contact info for all award winners) please email alexa@alexasommers.com with the category/categories you won and your Amazon store of choice (US, UK, CA) to claim your prizes.

And now, onto what everyone is actually waiting for… to buy my books... err… I mean the awards!
