Award Day!

I am truly honored to have wonderful and generous friends. Beverly Stowe McClure, and Ginger Nielson are two such friends. They were both kind enough to pass The Versatile Blogger Award to me this week. Thank you, Bev and Ginger.

This award comes with rules:

1. Thank the person who loved me enough to bestow this gift.

2. Share seven things about myself.

3. Bestow this honor onto 15 newly discovered or followed bloggers – in no particular order – who are fantastic in some way.

4. Drop by and let my fifteen friends know I love them.

Number 1, I am honored that Beverly and Ginger thought of me for this award.

Bev is an extremely talented writer, and one of the sweetest women I have ever met. Although we have only “met” on line, I have had the privilege of learning from classes she has taught in the Muse Online Writers Conference and her spot-on insights in the critique group we are both in. She's a wonderful lady, and I consider myself blessed to have met her.
Ginger is an extremely talented illustrator. As a mater of fact, I am honored to have partnered with her in my recent release If Wishes Were Fishes. Her wonderfully whimsical illustrations perfectly complemented the story and I am thrilled to have been blessed with “meeting” her. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again soon.

Here's number 2, seven things about myself.

1. Family, friends…and a really good story are my passions.

2. Besides getting lost in a book (writing or reading) I love movies.

3. I am a firm believer that chocolate is one of the basic necessities of life!

4. I love to travel and wish I had more opportunities to explore new places.

5. I have, admittedly, the world’s worst sense of direction. Hmmmm, perhaps this is the reason I don’t travel as much as I’d like, lol.

6. I love theme parks – they are so much fun!

7. Have I mentioned my love for chocolate…?!?!
