I hope she [Asaro] doesn't mind, but the several of us there putting up the quilt display sort of nominated her for 2004 Maryland author for the Maryland library system.
I doubt she will; more recognition means more books sold. If you want to ask her, though, you can try reaching her through her website on sff.net (http://www.sff.net/people/asaro/). According to the site, her e-mail is asaro@sff.net.
Personally, I think it's cool that you nominated her; Catherine Asaro's writing tends to be weak on antagonist development, and the occasional plot time-outs for the romantic developments drive me up a wall, but the science is fantastic, and occasionally I'll find myself really enjoying how throughly and excellently Asaro's blended the sf and romance tropes.
